My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.

After tragically losing her mother on a car accident, Nerice Raine Tallulah finally decided to leave her old life behind and start a new one on her home country, the prestigious regal Bandarvia. Tired of her wretched father who was constantly trying to convince her in moving in with his other family, Raine made a wish aloud. And shockingly, shortly after that, a garbage bag was dumped on an abandoned roadside by a van not far from her house. But why would someone actually dump it on an abandoned roadside and not at the trashcan? With her curiosity and suspicion dominant than her reasoning, she discovered that it was actually a man—badly injured. Unknown of what to do, she took him in and nursed his needs, only to later on discovered that it was actually the Bandarvian Prince. He was assaulted by his uncle who had great desires of conquering his kingdom surreptitiously—shortly after the death of their king, and his idiotic minions had been foolish to think that he would die inside a plastic bag with his injuries and perhaps suffocation. Sadly, because of Raine’s curiosity, it had gotten her into a whole lot of trouble and complication. With her involvement to the prince’s assassination, her life was ridiculously changed forever.
