Side Story to The Twins, it's an alternate reality to The Throne. Read if you want, but I suggest you read The Twins first so it makes sense. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Nia is a normal cat shapeshifter, but with huge problems weighing on her. Kill her aunt, or fight to change someone that is extremely evil, and probably can't be changed? She sides with her conscience, and gives her aunt a choice, but whether it's the right one, she will soon find out. This time, her aunt doesn't just want to capture her. She wants Nia's twin sister, Ivy, as well. The urge for power is a strong force, one that takes over too many people. Saber, Nia's connection mate, will do anything for the woman he loves, and her annoying twin sister. But, it gets them all in tricky situations, and huge danger. Who knows how they'll survive this set of problems.

I highly suggest you read The Twins- Book One before you read this, so then it'll make more sense. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Antonia, or Nia, is the 18 year old shapeshifting Dark Earth Queen, but with no memories and a lot of problems. One thing never fails to brighten her day though, a strange green-eyed man. She decides to assign him to her personal guard, since she feels that she can trust him. She has this need to be near him, and that need brings things into her life that are both good and bad. 18 year old cat shapeshifter Saber is guarding the woman he loves, and she doesn't even recognize him. It's like a punch to the chest every time he sees her, and it's like she's looking through him. But, she did immediately assign him onto her personal guard, so she has to still have feelings for him, right? He tries to think positively, but it's hard. He never gives up though, not on her. Twin sister to Nia, Ivy is faring no better. Stress might as well be her middle name! Secrets are piling up around her and suffocating her, and she has a strong case of avoiding-my-boyfriend-itis. She's always researching in the library, trying to find a way to help her sister with memory problems. Dealing with that, as well as the pitying looks of her friends, piece of cake!.... Yeah, not really.

"Alright then." I respond. "Let's go." We walk to the edge of the hill, about to run down, and we stop cold. Riding horseback through the village streets are warriors covered in black armor with dark green and black capes billowing behind them. The Dark Warriors. Warriors under the order of the evil Dark and Earth Queen that resides in the Dark Mountains to the north. "Nia, we need to go." Saber says softly, in shock. I nod in agreement and we run off, sprinting down the hill. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Antonia, or Nia, thinks that she's just a normal 17 year old cat shapeshifter with a normal life and normal parents. But when her best friend Saber, who she trusts with her life, tells her to start asking questions, Nia realizes her life isn't so mundane after all. Saber loves Nia, they've been best friends practically their whole nearly 18 years of existence. But, he wants to be more. He never says anything in fear of rejection. Who knows how she'll react? But, he will do anything to make sure she is safe, even travel across realm barriers with her to find answers, and much more. Ivory, or Ivy, is your typical 17 year old orphan. Moved homes a lot, moved schools a lot. Never really settled down anywhere, or had friends. She has always wanted to find someone that is related to her, but has had no luck. She also just wants to stay somewhere for a while, so she can make friends. But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.
