Anger twists in your gut. It just does. The heat of something so passionately dangerous revels in unfortunate circumstances, just as guilt and despair are shards of your soul that twist and turn until you no longer have shape, bleeding from its sharp edges. Emotions can destroy worlds, raise armies to plunge their weapons of choice into one another. Blood spills when emotions flick their demons tails. They can be erased. Jalha is a name synonymous with unity. Perfection. Bleeding edge research into slicing the emotion from millions of people to create a Utopia resulted in a happy, complacent and highly effective society. But what is erased is never truly gone. It leaves its imprint, lingering even when not seen in every light. Yet it is there, and those who want to see the world in color will rise, because they cannot be erased. ----- I really, really suck at writing a synopsis. Like a lot. I don't know why I've always struggled to sum a story up, probably because I've already put so much thought and words into it so. So please, just give me a shot and read a chapter or two! Thank you!

Julia is on the run, fleeing for her life. An army of vampires ravage her country, plundering villages and enslaving their occupants. With the vampire horde closing in, Julia is forced to abandon her home and head south with the hope of reuniting with her brother. There they will build a new farm and live in safety. But one vampire lord has a different plan for her future. He tracks her down and takes her captive. No matter how hopeless her situation, she never gives up, risking her life to regain her freedom. He forces her down, punishing her when her defiant spirit hinders his mission. It soon becomes clear that she's nothing like the human soldiers he's used to dealing with. A sense a guilt begins to grow whenever he upsets the girl who both fears and leans into him for protection. Julia and the vampire lord are connected in ways they had never known. Their lives become entangled, bringing them to make decisions they would've never thought possible. Extract from Chapter 1: He unsheathes his blade, and I suddenly wish that he'd go back to poking me. He's going to cut me while I can't move? To torture me? I start to panic again. "No, no, no." I yank on the restraints, and the rope bites into my skin. I pull and pull and try to shuffle away from him. He presses the blade against my neck, and I freeze. "Fearful," he says. I catch a glimpse of his freakishly long canines. The edge of the blade presses on my skin, just enough not to draw blood.
