Without you, I am broken.
Atatla Rain has lived her life on the edge for as long as she can remember. The pain is just a reminder of what she's lost, nothing more. Her family, her home, her love. All gone with the flames. She's found a group that trusts her, and that's all she needs. Other than her wolf companion, Sapphire, of course.
I'm a desert, you're an ocean.

Then, their world turns on it's head. The past finally catches up, and destroys the small community that they've built for themselves. Pain has been all they've known, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt. If they have any chance at rebuilding their life, they need to find a way to trust each other and, most of all, trust themselves. After all, there is beauty in the pain. You just need to find it.
