Summary
In war, healers are the first to die.
House Skonos stood tall and proud before the Newblood uprising, a noble house that served the highest titles in the land. Their head would heal the king himself, easing wrinkles and gray hairs for all his days. Mother liked to grumble about it in the mirror.
Then came the mutations.
Their sister house, Blonos, was able to flee. As their ability was to heal themselves, they thought they had nothing to fear when the rats came pounding at their door. But one arm was grabbed, then another, the life force draining from their skin. Leechers, they were called. House Carver, they named themselves.
Skonos healed others.
They could not heal themselves.

Summary
Following a failed pickpocket attempt, a fall from some stage rafters, and an audition that she never imagined in her wildest dreams, Mare Barrow, street felon by day and wistful ballerina by night, one day finds herself as a dancer for Manhattan's prestigious Calore Dance Academy, owned by the filthy-rich Calore clan. More than that, her partner is Maven Calore, one of the Calore brothers himself. And the pickpocket attempt, of course, was on Maven's older brother and the heir to the Academy, Tiberias "Cal" Calore. Naturally, he orchestrated the whole incident.
A paradigm rags-to-riches success story unfolds, and as the seventeen-year-old climbs up the levels of social class, she dances a dangerous game of love and betrayal when lies are told and secrets are revealed. The gang Mare belongs to, the Scarlet Street Fighters, and the Calore clan are brutal enemies, and the girl, simple as the blood in her veins, is caught right in the crossfire of their bloody war. Mare soon discovers that the Calore family not only has a passion for ballet dancing, but an obsession for power and money. It seems that the Calores control everything, including her own life.

Summary
Diana paused. It was strange, the way he said it, as if someone might stop him if he weren’t careful. And perhaps someone would. Someone who feared what might happen if they didn’t.
Her sister stared, mouth a perfect O. “But if we don’t have kings, who will–?”
Diana had had enough. “Hush.” She patted her head. “Dad is joking.”
He went quiet. “Maybe.” He looked away. “Maybe.”

Summary
Captain Provos wastes no time, and puts the bloody knife in my hand, drags me towards the grieving man. He grits out two words.
"Kill him."
I raise the blade again. This man stares straight at me. No fear in him, rather, rage. Hot, ripe rage, but acceptance, too. He will die now. A shuddering breath. He will die now. I grip the handle harder. He will die now.
The blade falls.
And cuts his binding ropes.
