Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man Lyrics Novels & Stories

"Our heart beats only with their permission." For as long as she can remember, the bookworm Synecdoche Rochet, 23, has lived a simple life in Maharlika Nation—hiding in the grasses and grains of District G to avoid the terrifying power of the Embassy and its ruthless Ambassador. In a dytopian world that is controlled and opressed, Synecdoche Rochet embarks on a mission to get back their rights on their district's valuable resources—the grains. When she discovered her intellectual ability, she found herself drawn to the charismatic Giovanni, the long-lost Ambassador's previleged son together with other intelligent students, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth. They found themselves being the tributes on the 2nd Maharlika Spelling TwistBee—trapped in the Word Arena. An annually commemorated survival game where each district will represent 1 letter in the Alphabet, spell the given English words not verbally, but by brutal killings of other competitors who have letter tattoos on their arms. The rules are to Spell and Kill. Within the killer's reach, the team-up of Synecdoche, Giovanni, Ulap, Token and Keithwarth isn't a coincidence, it's a conspiracy. What if Synecdoche's age will be reversed? Will they use their intelligence for vengeance? Will they compel love and trust to survive the battle royale? Is their life the price or the prize? "Even the shortest word has the longest meaning. Spell the words and kill with swords!"

Shanaia "Shan" Lux never believed in fairy tales—lalo na sa mga gwapo pero bastos na playboy tulad ni Jeriel Ford Severin.

Habang tumatagal ang kanilang "fake" relationship, the lines blur. Ang pustahan ay nagiging totoo. Ang laro ay nagiging pag-ibig. Pero paano kung malaman ni Shanaia ang totoo? Na simula pa lang, niloko na siya? Will love survive the ultimate betrayal? O magiging totoo ang takot ni Jeriel na sa huli, siya pala ang ma-fa-fall... at siya rin ang mawawalan ng lahat?

Her life is full of lies, have many hidden secrets and delusions, way too far from a simple and ordinary life. It all started with the accident that happened to her mom and all the blame was pointed to her. That event changed her life.

But he came into her life and helped her leave the world she's been suffering for a long time, a world that is full of lies. She fell in love with him, but destiny is too playful. When he confessed his feelings to her, Hayacinth rejected him, because for her, a love is not enough to heal a wounded past and a broken soul. Her tears fell down when the person she loves dropped the line that she doesn't want to let others know, that 'kahit magsinungaling ang bibig mo, nagpapakatotoo pa rin ang mga mata'. It marked her mind and her soul. She didn't know what to do at those times because of being hurt, of being not enough and not worthy. She was too afraid to gamble when it comes to the word 'love'. What she wanted to do in those time is to know the truth, to unveil every hidden secret and find the every page of A Book of Lies.
