❝ You boys better step it up, cuz I'm starting to kick your asses. ❞

After two years of training with Master Splinter, Raiya Carter's ninjutsu and ass-kicking skills have progressed quicker than any of the turtles'. In another year or two, she'll become a full kunoichi. But until then, she trains every day after school, hoping to one day beat one of the brothers in their daily sparring sessions.

❝ I'm just trying to live my dream before it's too late for me. I wasn't supposed to fall in love with anyone. ❞

Canadian farm-girl Jasmine Taylor is living her dream of seeing the world before returning home to begin taking over the family business of running the Anderson Farm. She loves her life on the farm, but while visiting NYC she meets Leonardo and finds herself wishing for the first time that she wasn't herself, that she was normal so she could stay in the city with him. But she knows she can't, and telling him that might tear both of them apart.

❝ The Footclan isn't dead, they're just keeping quiet until they can bust Shredder out of prison. He's gonna come back, and we need to be ready. ❞

Footclan activity in New York City has picked up for the first time since Shredder was put behind bars, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. Raiya and the turtles are ready and willing to fight back to protect their city. But they soon discover just how divided they are.

When Shredder returns, he brings with him a threat from another dimension that has the resources to create, and essentially 'cure' mutants. The possibility of living normal lives and being human sets the brothers apart from one another.

Raphael has dreamed of living a mundane life with Raiya. When his chance finally arises, he vows to do everything he can to achieve it. But what he doesn't do is take time to consider Raiya and his brothers before his actions begin tearing them apart.

With everyone divided and a new evil on the horizon, the group has to pull themselves together if they want any chance of defeating whatever Shredder has brought to Earth.

Because this time, it's not just their lives or NYC at stake.

This time, it's the whole world.

AUTHOR'S NOTE / DISCLAIMER

Rated T for:

-Swear words

-Some scenes of graphic violence

-Some sexual activity (kissing scenes)

Everything in this story is fictional.

This story is based on the 2016 TMNT movie, but I do not own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles's characters/plot!

Raiya, J.T., and any of their relatives in the story are my characters though! I know they're hella cool but please don't steal them!

If you don't know anything about TMNT, don't sweat it, my story is written so all readers can enjoy!

In case anyone hasn't noticed yet, this is the second book in a trilogy. You will be very confused if you don't read the first book, The Shadow's Secret. It follows the plot of the 2014 movie and introduces Raiya and her family, so make sure you read that before reading this one!

This story is also available on my Wattpad and Quotev account if you'd like to view it there as well :)

Thanks so much for checking out my story! I hope you all enjoy it!
