"...And day after day, we were robbers trying to rob each pleasurable moment for ourselves. We were selfish like that. Even when it came to our hearts. The last thing we wanted, was to share our hearts with someone else. We thrived in apathy and selfishness..." Kayne and Zuri would never fall in love. Or so they claimed.

[ORIGINAL DRAFT SAMPLE] Given a new chance at life, Sara Gaspard returns to Verweald and must decide how the Sin of Pride fits in with her daily routine. Before they have a chance to settle, a strange box arrives at Sara's doorstep and tears them from the Terrestrian realm. The box throws both mortal and Sin into a world - and conflict - neither has ever seen before. Dragon blood is spilled. A king rises from exile and ignites a war. Magic enthralls, fire lights the night, and kingdoms balance upon the edge of destruction. Sara and Darius' search for a way home becomes far more perilous than expected. The Sundered Vale awaits. __________________________ Sequel to Bereft: Foretold
