When I reach for him- he isn't there. He isn't there because as much as I want things to change, they aren't going to. We will never be the people we used to. We- together- will never be how we used to.

Imara lost her parents in a car accident, or that's what she was told. She was then moved into a family-owned orphanage, Alura, where she met the people who would become her family. Family, not by blood but by bond. It wasn't until Imara's fifteenth birthday that the truths about Alura were revealed. And Ares, Imara's lover, would be Imara's biggest heartbreak and betrayal of all.
Years later, Imara attempts to find Lebedev after fleeing from Alura while clinging to her last bit of sanity. Through all, Ares comes back into Imara's life to intervene in her hunt for Lebedev, sparking a war in the underworld, and igniting the past between them.
