Nova Grace

"Give me three months Nova, only three months and I'll show you what having a family is. That this life - despite all the pain you've endured - is worth living" Emilio, my father, whispers into the cold night

He walks with cautious steps as I stand on the ledge, his pained eyes begging for me to accept. To step away from death...but my scars are too deep to believe in such a dangerous thing as hope

Nova Grace and her twin brother Rune, are hit by a revelation the size of a watermelon - scratch that - the size of a goddamn train after years of abuse and wandering around foster care.

Their father and brothers, who were completely oblivious of their blood relation to them, have come to claim custody after their lives turn upside down...again.

Nova is yet to recover from the traumatic events from a soul shattering night three months ago, when a car wreck took her best friend's life away. It was the same night Rune found her beaten and bloodied inside a drug house hidden in the woods. But it wasn't the car crash that left bruises all over her body and scars that not even time will heal.

The faces of their attackers are a blur, how it all happened is still a mystery and they'll soon find out how connected their family is and how they seem to have the same enemies in common

Secrets deeply buried from decades ago will surface to uncover truths that should've long since stayed hidden, but the Rodriguez family will not rest until they've avenged their saving Grace and everything that was taken from her
