"Loneliness can be a very dangerous thing," For Luciel Keating, anxiety disorders are the norm- From agoraphobia to straight up anthropohobia and everything else in between, she's done and experienced it all. She's lived and struggled with these curses her entire life, and despite the grief and insurmountable pain she's suffered because of them, she's not really looking to change her way of life. She's fine just the way she is... That is, until she meets, Xol Bennet. Xol is an unassuming young man who comes to her aid despite her ardent refusals and who quickly realizes the more he gets to know her, the more he wants to help her, much to her dismay. By mere chance, their fates become intertwined but it isn't until the moment she says "no," that they both understand who has truly won the first of many battles to come. From dark forgotten pasts, a long road to redemption and even shadows in disguise, Luci finds herself being swept away into a world of secrets she's not sure she's ready for. Whether this tiresome game of cat and mouse between the two will allow Luci to break free of the chains holding her captive and finally come to terms with the dark depths behind her psychological instability, only time and the choices she makes will tell.
