As the clock struck 12 midnight and the new year was here, IT began. What so many 17 year olds waited for, was happening.
The new year, following your 17th birthday, you and your soul mate switch places in the world. You have one year, and one year only to find each other. If you succeed, you may be together and live happily until you turn 45, if you fail, you return to your normal lives, but will never be able to find each other.
Rules are simple.
No dating until you meet your soul mate.
No cell phones, emails, etc to contact each other.
Don't marry anyone other than your soul mate.
You have one year and one year only, to find your soul mate and live happily until you die.
But, if you're anything like Jade Vincent, that's not enough. Tired and angry at the restrictions in her life, Jade is determined to get rid of this curse that plagues everyone. She's determined to find her soul mate and end this reign of power, to no longer let generations suffer and live alone, to no longer have families torn from their love ones too soon.
This is Jade Vincent's 17 year revenge.
