As I Loved You

"Love someone else as you have loved me."
12 year old Minyu Len was no stranger to the horrors of war. From his birth in Fai'lei, he faced the abuse of his drunken father, the attacks of the metal horrors known as Spectres, and the raids of the neighboring Archian. On one such raid, Minyu is carried away from Fai'lei to the home of the enemy himself, the broken and enigmatic Duke James Asalt. Bound to his sworn enemy under strange circumstances, Minyi is issued an ultimatum: survive for three years, and be rewarded with freedom. But all is not what it seems. For these two individuals, placed at the opposite ends of fate, are closer together than they think.
