Dea is forgettable.

Lost in the vastness of her elder brother's shadow, Dea lurks at the fringe of a great family, better suited to hiding a smile and presenting an aloof, uncaring front to any outside their territory. Not daemati. Not shadowsinger. Hardly Illyrian. Not special, and destined to lurk in shadows that would not envelope her, cursed to be powerless, while her brother holds it all. But Rhysand is not their father, and Dea is not their mother-half of them High Fae, half of them Illyrian, forever trapped between two peoples, two cultures, and two parents whose rage makes the mountains tremble.

Until war steals her brother and father and all she holds dear away, far off to battlefields they might never return from. And Dea is running from something only known in the bones below the earth, where her brother has forbidden her from going. But as great armies clash and the noose grows tighter, Dea needs answers. Before her brother is lost to the shadows he loves so dearly.

Eternal: (adj.) Lasting or existing forever; without end or beginning Athanasia never complained about her situation. She never felt like she had the right to. A random event leads her to befriend a small boy. A boy that she believed she would never see again. His situation was heartbreaking, she knew that there are others that are more unfortunate just like him. However, this one encounter changes everything she expected of herself, gave her freedom when the world only wants to swallow her up. --- "Why are you doing this? Why are you befriending me? Though we met five hundred years ago, why do you still bring me into your life? So much can happen in that many years but instead of staying with your friends or finding other things to do, you're with me. Why?" I ask again. Though I don't like being so forward, I can't help it. I'm scared to hurt him. He shifts his gaze to me. His hazel eyes gleam into my blue ones as if he knows something that I don't. "You're right. I had five hundred years, five hundred years to stay with my friends and five hundred years to find other hobbies." He pauses, taking in breath. "But I had five hundred years without you, we only had two weeks together. And those two weeks were the best I've ever had. That's why I want to continue them-with you, Athy." --- Disclaimer: All ACOTAR characters and plot belong to Sarah J. Maas. My characters and scenes are my own work.
