Conflict
"From up here, the city below looked calm. Peaceful. Serene.It was a lie. Mia could feel the lie in her bones, in the foreboding creeping along the fine hairs on her skin. But mostly she could feel it in her head, where preparations were underway across Romane to meet the coming chaos."

A peculiar smile danced across her lips as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth and down her chin."
Violence
