My name is Ophelia Ekaterina Aster.Baba Yaga.Daughter of a Dragon. A monster.I never minded the whispers or the screams, because I knew who I was and what I’ve done. I never minded, until I did.I sold my soul to the devil and painted the pages of my story with the blood of those who betrayed me. I became the darkness they threw me into, and I destroyed them. I wouldn’t stop, I couldn’t stop, not now. Not when everything I worked for was within my reach... moreMy name is Ophelia Ekaterina Aster.Baba Yaga.Daughter of a Dragon. A monster.I never minded the whispers or the screams, because I knew who I was and what I’ve done. I never minded, until I did.I sold my soul to the devil and painted the pages of my story with the blood of those who betrayed me. I became the darkness they threw me into, and I destroyed them. I wouldn’t stop, I couldn’t stop, not now. Not when everything I worked for was within my reach. But it all came crashing down when he barged into my life again and threatened to ruin my carefully laid plans.

I should’ve escaped while I still had time, because even though love runs deep, betrayal… it runs much deeper. I guess I didn’t expect it to hurt like this.I didn’t expect it to turn into just another nightmare.Equilibrium is the second book in The Rapture series, dealing with dark and violent themes that might be triggering to some, and is therefore not suitable for readers below the age of 18. It is recommended to read Ricochet before Equilibrium. This is not a standalone and it ends on a cliffhanger. less

The salve for my wounds when I needed to heal... moreI was a scapegoat. The one person everyone blamed for all the bad things in their life.A villain. An assassin. Baba Yaga.
