Prologue

Shadows and tragedy mark her troubled adolescence, as Evelyn struggles to Live... and Forget.
But can she?

Shrouded with mystery, a dark power Rises; unknown by the world as it is yet.
So how can the world protect itself from an invisible fortitude it has no idea of?

And then an enigmatic figure, his secrecy a crucial card in the life he leads. Undoubtedly, a dark secret entwines his heart, a secret subtly linked with his foreboding past; is it for personal fame or glory that he chooses a life of mortal peril? Or does a more sinister motivation underlie his stance? He's a saviour, but what sort of a saviour? Who is he 'saving'? No one can fathom him. For he's a shadow of fear, armed with a mere dagger! No one TRULY knows him... they can't. All they learn, if by chance their paths cross, is that he's not for hire. The hard way.

In these troubled times,
once more, and once again,
do twisted paths cross
But what lies at the end?
Only time can tell,
But can you survive to see it tell? Now that depends.
