The Stars Are Burning [PAUSED]

Part I. ANTE

"The stars are burning, the moon is shining, and darling, we will make this world a better place."

Eighteen-year-old Fletcher Cheung is the sole heiress of her family's multi-billion business empire, wasting away with her lacklustre attitude to life. Scouted by the goddess Athena as yet another New York girl with wasted potential, she wakes up after a rough night to find the ethereal Cassian, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, barging into her life and vowing to turn her into a new woman.

Things might seem easy for Fletcher, but when three of the Seven Deadly Sins disappear, it appears that she's taking on the role of one of the missing Sins. Worse yet, she realises that she's falling in love with Cassian himself, and will do whatever it takes to get his friends back (and save the world at the same time).
