The Whitsborough Chronicles Series books 1-4.
Ember Craven is raised by a single mother on the rough streets of The Bronx in New York, runs with gangs and uses her fists to pay the bills. Through tragedy, she's forced to move to Ontario, Canada with her mother's sister and husband.
These books will lead you through the small town of Whitsborough, filled with wealthy and prestigious individuals, ones whose exteriors shine with a clean brilliance, but their insides are rotten to the core. In a world where money talks and immorality is masked by power, a young woman finds herself caught in a world where her resilience is often tested. Once Ember is pushed too far, she succumbs to her inner villain, and no one is safe from her blade, no matter how much money they have.
Take this journey of pain, darkness, finding the light, then ultimately, the road to redemption, and witness just how dark a person can get to protect the people she loves.
