Books with author Elizabeth Chandler

Button Gwinnett's first semester in college is fraught with excitement. She's supposed to attend the Freshman Welcome Hop with BMOC Bill Major, but while escaping the unwanted attentions of Dr. McGavin behind the library, she witnesses a murder. The police show up and find a body at the bottom of the cliff. Soon the body count rises, and Button becomes the primary suspect. With the help of beau Bill and her roommate, Cleo Carter, she sets out to uncover the identity of the murderer and clear her name, before she becomes the next victim.

Calla Thorne has everything she's ever wanted: a job for the paper, writing articles to give hope on the war, a loyal boyfriend, and a caring twin sister. A war has divided her country since before she could remember: Divines against the Rebels. Being raised by one herself, Calla believes that the Divines know best, and her faith has never wavered... until now. After a heartbreaking betrayal, all that changes, and she's handed over to the Rebels. Day after day, she sits and wonders why. Then Haden, leader of the Rebels walks into her tent. Looking like an angel but acting like anything but, he offers her a dangerous, but tempting offer: They will train her to fight, and if she challenges him and wins, she'll go free, but until that day comes, she writes for the Rebels. As the training intensifies, so do the secrets, including Haden's past. When an oppurtunity knocks, not only is her country at war, but her heart and mind as well. One says run and don't look back, but the other screams at her to fight before it's too late. But for who? No battle is endless, and only one will win: friends against family, and life against love.

How had I gotten here? Running from allies and enemies alike, I had hidden in those mountains for weeks. Now, I can see them from my bedroom window in Clementshire, the school for the elite children of Paradise. No longer am I known as Calla Thorne, escaped Divine experiment, traitor, and Rebel. I am Briar Rosenguard, the withdrawn bookworm charge of Madame Adelaide Connelly who had been kind enough to support me with an Aegis to attend her school. My time is running out as a regular human. The Divine serum is changing me, making me have thoughts and impulses that are not my own. I have mere weeks left before my mind is no longer mine, and I will no longer be able to choose who I hurt and who I protect. Under the guise of doing 'research' for my sans pareil– the Divines’ way of weeding out candidates who they believe aren’t capable -I will gather the untold secrets of the Divine serum and send them with one who will deliver them into capable hands. I only hope that I will not lose my mind to the Divine serum...or my heart to one that I am not sure I can trust. I am not sure who I am anymore, or what my purpose is. I suppose when the illusions finally come to an end and all the cards have been played, the choices I make will be what defines me.
