Years on, when the oldest girl of Project Destiny comes of age, Supreme Leader Snoke assigns her to his new apprentice, Kylo Ren, in attempts to create the first life born under the dark side.

"I loved her not for the way she danced with my angels, but for the way the sound of her name could silence my demons." - Christopher Poindexter

When Rena meets Brent, he is a dream come true. He is a real gentleman, funny, caring and even her overly protective father likes him. But then, she discovers a different side of Brent - a violent side that scares her. Promising that this had been a one time slip up, she forgives him. After all, he is the love of her life. She dosn't see the signs -- the controlling, the alienation from her friends and dad, the obsession he has with her. She is like putty in his hands. Over time, she learns about the Cycle of Abuse the hard way and she even tries to break free. But in the end, she only sees one way out and it will likely cost her everything.

Please do not read this book if you find this topic disturbing. It is not designed to upset anyone but to raise awareness.
