Scars of the Truth

Being raised in a children's home leaves a child much to figure out about where they came from. Calla Topaz was raised in a home for orphans since she was eleven, not able to remember much of her life before. A traumatic memory of blazing fire and large killing beasts is the only thing she can recall. Something about the memory has triggered her brain to forget everything else, leaving Calla to wonder who she really is and where she came from. Being diagnosed as mentally unstable, she has been required to stay in mental therapy, only to get the same conclusions that she is mental.

Turning eighteen comes with new turns, along with finding her way in the world. Calla roomates with Mckenzie, a friend from the children's home. Mckenzie is wild, free, and boy crazy, the complete opposite of who Calla is. On a late night when Mckenzie convinces Calla to go out with her, Calla meets Jay.

Jay is dark, dangerous and everything Calla tries to stay away from. But he's always in the right places at the right time. And she can only deny the unexplainable feelings that grow for him. Since Jay's been around everything seems to start unraveling, including Calla's past.

Will Calla be able to finally remember her past and unravel the scars of the truth?
