The world has been twisted into a nightmarish reality. Death is imminent, leering closer. A howling wind whistles eerily, echoing. The sun has faded into a colourless grey, no longer the brilliant orb that should chase off the darkness. It has faded out, leaving you for dead. Moonlight spills from the sky. Shadows lunge. The streets are drenched in darkness, cloaked with fear. In a blink, your light can be extinguished. They can't see you, but they can feel your panicked heartbeats... Which cease when they are stolen. * Raina will never forget the moment her life became a wretched reality. The moment her parents were pitched into the void. She will never forget the tears shed as she and Ella realized that they were alone in this horrid place. Nor will she forget the piercing pain of the lightning bolt, the scars that curve along her skin. They give her the Light.

Ryana lives in a world where everyone never wants to get old but stay young and youthful. Scientists have somehow made this dream come true. This serum is on the market and only the rich can afford it. Well, at least that was before. The creators of the serum are now distributing the serum to children attending public high schools for FREE, but here's the catch there's a mental and physical test you have to pass and you have to make the top 5 out of all the contestants to actually receive the serum. If you ask Ryana that project sounds scandalous. She's about to find out the real motive of this project and boy is she in for a surprise.
