Beneath the Fall (Fallen #1)

Growing up intimately attached to her mother, Ciara Naveah Torres already figured out what she wanted in life - to live a life filled with only art and painting. It was the burning passion she saw in her mother's eyes, it was as well the only thing her soul thirsted for. But all that flew lost and away along with the breeze as her mother left, leaving her puzzled and scarred as time went by.

Wounded, she distanced herself. She avoided and feared the idea of building bonds and connections towards people. To do all things on her own without asking for help was what she swore to herself.

Then Gael Nicholas Severo came into the picture, making her question the principles she built and lived through the years. The doors she hardly made and stood were swung open - allowing him to wholly enter her life. As he held her, the warmth she had longed for so long turned within reach and sunsets became more meaningful and alive.

However, as things went vibrant and lively once again, fate flaunted itself to play with her like how it did years ago. Signs were just around; he showed signs, too.

As when signs started appearing as everything was slowly going well, was she able to notice and realize what those signs meant? Was she able to find out what was beneath her fall?
