Two worlds divided.
Two hearts betrayed.
One secret that could destroy them both.
Gabriella is a Sylvanian soldier with the power to command shadows.
Richard is a Valortorian commander from a land where no one has powers- and where evols like hers are seen as threats.
For five years, they risked everything to be together in secret.
Until one day, he vanished.
Now, a year later, Richard is back in Sylvan with a mission he won't explain and a story he refuses to tell.
Gabriella doesn't know if she wants to kill him or kiss him- but she knows one thing: she'll never forgive him for leaving her.
What she doesn't know is that Richard was taken- imprisoned, tortured, and silenced by his own people.
He stayed away to protect her.
But the war between their worlds is growing colder.
And the truth is more dangerous than either of them can imagine.

Heart
Her name was Gabriella Quintanilla. She was a senior in high school during this time. She had the looks, all the boys, the popularity, the clothes, and even the grades. And in no way was she ignorant of any of these things--quite the opposite. She knew that she was above average in most categories of life, and had no problem reminding people repeatedly of that fact. I'm not going to lie---I didn't like her. Not at all. To be completely honest, I threatened to kill her with my bare hands. And the scary thing is, I meant it. I wanted her to die. I imagined dark fantasies of the light fading from her eyes right before my own, her pleading for me to spare her life. And in my fantasies, I wouldn't listen and I didn't care. She had tortured me for five years and I was utterly and simply sick of it all. Sick of her. My animosity towards Gabriella was no secret among my peers. Not many people liked her, so it's not like I stood alone on the concept. However I was the only one who voiced a threat. THE threat. The threat that got me on a suspect list in some cop's notepad. They want to know if I killed her. If they knew the whole story, would they blame me if I did? ©Copyright Timara M. Lewis 2013Complete
