New fiction



You can never undo a dangerous girl, you can only ask her to be dangerous for the right reasons. Lessons Angela learns while in the custody of the Hidden Oak School, where girls are either in the gold thread or the purple thread. Gold thread girls wear traditional school uniforms are allowed some freedoms and receive an education, purple thread girls, wear prison type overalls, have no freedom, no education and must self govern. The story takes mulitple twists and turns and you never know how the story will end until the final pages.
