Blurb:

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boyโ€ฆ
Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day sheโ€™s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdomโ€™s last living assassin, Seven, and heโ€™s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the Kingโ€™s upcoming courtship gathering. Itโ€™s a partnership sheโ€™d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Goldโ€ฆ
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they wonโ€™t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, itโ€™s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.
Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

Reasons to love To Ruin the Sky

ELECTRIC SEXUAL TENSION.
Excerpt reads: There's a possessiveness in how he touches me and I wish I hated it.
"How would you punish me?" I breathe out, unable to control my impulses.
Fingers touch my zip as he slowly slips it down, millimetre by millimetre. My body is completely in his thrall, unable to decipher the beat of my heart from the thump of the speaker's bass.
Cloudy background with one half of a lightning bolt

Chapter One
The rain made it easier to rob his grave.
My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the nightโ€™s whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us.
Us.
As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.

Write out of fear. Write out of spite. Write out of anger, anxiety, love, hope, despair. Write that weird shit. Write fucked up stories. Write to inspire. Whatever it is, write what only you can write, what truly drives your passion. There is no one right way or motivator or inspiration. Just yours.
