Desperation: (The Island I)
Mayelana nale ebook
On Halcyon, questioning the faith isn’t just forbidden—it’s deadly. Now I’m paying the price for a crime I didn’t commit, sentenced to the kind of “reintegration” that breaks minds and buries souls. But I’d rather take my chances with the sharks than spend another second as their prisoner.
So I jump.
When the icy water drags me down, I think it’s over—until a stranger pulls me from the depths. He’s dark and dangerous, with secrets swirling in his eyes. I don’t know if I can trust him, but out here, trust is a luxury I can’t afford.
Staying with him means diving into a rebellion I didn’t ask to join. But the more time I spend by his side, the harder it gets to tell where the mission ends and the sparks between us begin.
He says I have to choose: fight for freedom or fight for love. But I want both—and I’ll burn down this whole island to get it.
The leaders of Halcyon tried to break me. Now, it’s my turn to shatter them.
If you love rebellious heroines, forbidden attraction, and page-turning twists, The Island trilogy will keep you hooked until the very last page.

C.B. Stone is sometimes called author, writer, or purveyor of stories. One might even dub her a yarn spinner, if you will. It's very possible she might be considered just a little left of normal by most, but she's cool with that. Really, she's too busy avoiding normal to care. On any given day, you might find Stone pounding away at a keyboard in sunny Miami, contemplating waves, contemplating life and dreaming up more exciting stories to share with readers.
Except Sundays, of course. Sundays are God's day, so you'll often find her making her best "joyful noise" with her local church praise team. When not pounding poor fingers to bloody nuggets and reinventing the definition of eye strain, C.B. Stone enjoys living it up, doing the family thing, the kid thing, and the friend thing. And in her downtime, reading the minds of fans.
Also being invisible. Being invisible is fun.
