Gracie is a normal teenager in high school, with amazing best friends and an even better boyfriend. However, her perfect life takes an unexpected twist and is thrown totally upside down when something happens. She starts to go blind. Her eyesight gets worse and worse until finally, her world goes dark. Not just when it comes to her vision, either. Gracie's deteriorating eyesight fully changes her life, in more ways than one. It illuminates the people around her and shows her who actually cares and singles out those that don't. It seems like everything is going wrong in her life until one thing turns her whole perspective around, and saves her from herself. * * * * * This book includes heavy LGBTQ+ crap so if that's not for you then bye bye. It also includes some mental illness stuff so just be wary, this isn't always a happy book and it can get quite sad.

My head swirls with the truth, and the somehow shocking words. A part of me has always known, but the other part of me that was in denial was in control. Now that side of me doesn't know what to do; it can't be in denial of the facts anymore. I stand up and stride out of the dining room and out the front door, needing to be away from everything. I need to clear my mind, to focus, and I can't if I'm in the same room as them. I need to be out in the forest. It always helps me. "Nia!" I hear Saber's voice yell for me, and I turn around to see him running to me. He wraps me in his familiar and comfortable embrace, and I relax immediately, reveling in the only constant thing in my life right now. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Antonia, or Nia, thinks she has a normal life for a 17 year old cat shapeshifter, or at least as normal as it can be. Some aspects of her life are strange, like the dream that she has had every night since she was 16 and the fear of the unknown that the dream causes. But, to help Nia through it all is her best friend Saber. Their birthdays are only a week apart and their parents are best friends, so they've known each other for their whole lives and couldn't be closer. They trust each other wholly. So when Saber starts encouraging Nia to ask questions, she does. The answers they receive lead them on a wild journey across realm barriers to find Nia's missing twin sister, Ivory. Nia has always wanted a sister. But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

I highly suggest you read the first two books in the series before reading this, so it'll make more sense. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Their group of friends is torn into pieces. Friends and loved ones split apart. Impenetrable realm barriers separate them. Nia snaps. Her Dark and Earth powers rage out of control, fueled by her anger and despair, then her total lack of emotion. She distances herself away from everyone, even her twin sister, Ivy. The gap between them soon becomes a chasm when Nia won't let anyone in or out of her realm, not only shutting herself off, but her whole kingdom. Ivy can't do anything, since Nia split the old realm and put up walls around her new realm that nobody is strong enough to break. Only one person is strong enough, Nia's connection mate Saber, but Nia has his powers and memories forever locked up in a locket that doesn't leave her neck, and she shut down their connection. The shattered connection between Nia and Saber is like a phantom limb still pulling at her whole being, and her mind is slipping. The only time she feels whole is in her dreams, where she relives memories of her and Saber. It makes her miss him even more, but she isn't going to do anything about it. Nia took Saber's memories, and isn't giving them back any time soon. She's too frightened of what might happen if her and Saber are together. She wants him to move on, even if it hurts her. Nia and Saber's friends won't stop fighting to try and knock down the walls around Nia's heart, and her realm. They have to reunite them, before it's too late. Not just for Nia and Saber, but for their realms that they call home.

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.
