In truth, I would never give up my isolation, my Fortress of Solitude. The fortress is good, safe, and secure, and it gives me peace of mind. The world outside of it is only chaos, pain, and evil.
Sure, I am a small town graduating student, and if you think my life has been a smooth sail, think twice. My parents died when I was young, and I was never adopted from my foster home. I have buried my feelings so deep inside that I can't feel anything anymore, let alone get a crush on anyone (in school, they nicknamed me the Ice Princess). On my 18th birthday, a nail gun shoots a nail into my brain by accident, and now it is not just me shunning people, it's them. Now I am just "the freak", and things will never be normal.
A freak with a bad luck. The saying goes "you have to hit rock bottom before you can reach the top", but it seems there is no bottom to reach here.
So I flee to the big city-at least nobody knows about the nail there. I have a simple plan-eat work sleep repeat-but at the office I meet Eros, this handsome and mysterious man who also shuts people out and seems to have the same plan as me. I can't even start to explain the feelings he can evoke in me, feelings I never even dreamt of, but I have no intention of trusting him, let alone fall in love with him, not after everybody else has abandoned me.
But then I start letting my fortress down, and he reveals his secret life to me, a life where he is a Nephilim and there is an eternal and dangerous war between his superhuman race and the deadly Seraphims. Should be complicated enough, but I also start seeing auras and chakras around people, and his enemies start chasing me down.
So now I have one question: why me?
