Tara thought she was just the teacher in a small settlement on the outskirts of the Empire. 

Leo thought he was just the bereaved brother of a long dead sister.

That's not how they see each other, or how their friends see them. If they don't discover their true stories, however, everyone will suffer. But how can a text, written hundreds of years before their births, provide them with the answers they need? 

Sometimes the pen is simply more dangerous than the sword.

**Update:- My minor chapter restructure turned into introducing new chapters from other POV's including Leo and Ting. It makes the build up far more satisfactory in my mind. Minor changes to other chapters to account for flow.**

Her friends chip in. "I'm not Leo sorry." The Redhead holds my wrist between her inked hands. "No, please. We know it's you. Everyone says you're shy but I didn't know it is this bad." I look from my hand to her wide smile in anger. "Let go of me." I say. "Now." "She's bossy! Oh my!" Their excitement causes her hand to tighten around my wrist. "I said, let go of me." They giggle again. "What is wrong with you! Let go of me! I'm not Leo, I'm Reo!" "Lying? That's-" "I said my name is Reo!" . Began: June 7, 2020 . Ranking: #1 in coverup!
