the Maiden

"We broke the rules-there needed to be a punishment. If I can get rid of the Void and prove why she should let me be with Odalis, one of her angels, then he and I can live for eternity to be together."

Calix finally met my eyes, and I took in the richness of the blue. It was like staring at the ocean and simultaneously drowning in its deep abyss.

"And that's why you don't want to be with me."

I shrugged. "It's unfair, Calixton."

"It's Calix," he grumbled.

I couldn't help but smile. "Right...Calix. You have a strange name."

"And you have a strange life."

"Touché."

The Maiden will tell the tale of Coralie Beauchene. Following the night of her eighteenth birthday Coralie is enlisted to become a spy. Her new occupation proves fruitful, and she pushes high through the ranks. Three years later, she manages to tangle herself in with the Void, a mysterious black cloud that's hung over Geiya for 1,003 years.

How so, you ask?

She caused the war that started it all.
