Lost

Penelope Pawn had an addiction. Sure, she liked candy, and sword fighting shadows, and boys, but something was seriously wrong with her, and she couldn't put her finger on it. Being homeless wasn't as bad for her as it was for most. She had a way of collecting kids that turned into family, like brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, every time another kid agreed to come with her to the hiding place she'd created, a rush of power would surge through her like she'd consumed a drug, sealed a deal, or done something terribly wrong. There was one guy though, who wouldn't come. When Terek showed up at her doorstep, a place well hidden from most others, and demanded she heed his warning, it was the first time she feared the strength of an enemy. Was he a challenge that could become her savior, revealing to her the truth of her past? Could this boy show her how to repair the fiber of the world she'd unknowingly ripped apart, causing a catastrophic end to the home she'd built for herself and the lost ones? Coming books in the series Frigid (2026) and Unlucky (2026). Misfits is a spin off series based on LM Preston's Vigilant series.
