It's not unusual to hear people's voices in your head. It's expected, really. What's interesting is the fact that the voice in Dahlia's head does not belong to a human - it belongs to the stars, instead.

"Who are you?" someone might ask to the utter horror showing on Dahlia's face.
"I... I..."
Maybe she was right to think of herself as part of a rhythm, a system that stretched all around her, as everyone, even fate, expected her to fix the mistakes of her predecessors. Maybe, just maybe, she was right to think that none of it even mattered, despite the swelling pain in her heart that told her - it did.
Maybe Dahlia felt it in her soul, the very fabric of life, of imagination, of love, of happiness - maybe it was too much, threatening to tear her apart at the seams.
And maybe, as she was looking at that Door before her, polished and beautiful, she may have thought of an answer that satisfied her, satisfied the stars, even the shrieking voices in her head. They belonged to the people she'd met in her life, no matter how kind and loving.
Dahlia sighed deeply, tracing her fingers along her skull. Would this be the end for her? Or would this simply be a new beginning, a dull promise of starting over, letting the past disappear?
Perhaps it really was her as she swallowed her pride and went through the Door.
Perhaps it really was her destiny.

The first draft of my fantasy trilogy that I've been dying to finally write! I need feedback, so don't be shy, give it to me! I should post regularly as the whole draft is written by now (I'm working on the second book but I've barely started to be honest)
In this world between three others lie the secrets to wars and pain. Will Dahlia finally understand what it means to be loved?
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, I couldn't think.
I had to save him, but in order to do that I would have to lose myself.
The man smiled, "Aren't you a prize? You really have no clue as to how powerful you are. Do you?"

The Angel realm had been divided into two territories, so war could be avoided by the Angel species. These two territories were the Light kingdom, and the Dark kingdom.
You never chose what side to be apart of, when the territories were set in ancient times, they were never tested. You were born into the kingdoms, and no one ever switched sides.
Until Rhoslyn Piper.
She was the first soul darkened. When she commit an act that the Light angel rulers deemed against the rules, she was set to have her wings and powers removed. But instead of her wings being taken away, they darkened, and she was sent to the dark kingdom, cursed.
Rose has been living in the dark kingdom for over a year now, but a new problem faces her.
Her former love interest comes back into the picture, her best friend confesses his true feelings for her, but instead of dealing with those things, Rose has to go somewhere an angel has yet to be since the world wars.
She has to go to the human world.
The journey brings her face to face with more heartache, danger, and trouble.
And all at the same time, she meets a dark angel who changes everything.
How will she survive?
