| Wattpad Choice Awards 2017: Best Debut Novel | My heart stuttered in my chest, and my body involunarily shook, pastel hands vibrating as they took hold of the cold handle. I heard a hidden scream from inside and shut my eyes. My body pulsed, the border of memory and pain wearing thin. A deep breath later, I twisted the handle and pushed the door open fully. Crimson-tinged memories flooded through my mind as a metallic stench filled my nose. Cracked stone reaching up on either side of me touched a seeming darkness. The door thudded closed behind me, and I stepped down the stairs gently, my barefeet curling away from the pain resonating through the rocks. I push my way past cells of moaning criminals and shrieking cries, my body failing at cracks of whips. This kingdom was unforgiving. That, I was sure of. HIghest Achievement: #8 in Fantasy as of 2016 ******UNEDITED****** Okay seriously guys, this is horrible compared to what it could be.
