In Between

The world is unkind, unyielding and dying.

The guardian who once heeded a battle between the dark and light realms has been missing for decades. It was the only being strong enough to create a lasting balance between the realms. Without its protection, the human world was succumbing to unthinkable terrors the night holds. Slowly, with each rise of the moon in the sky, the population dwindles. The people were facing ruin, misfortune and death, no longer protected.

Lyra was one small piece of the undiscovered world, fighting alongside the horde of unruly boys who fought for one thing: survival. It was always every being for themselves, except for Torrin. Her friend by day and sheild by night. They found an unusual comfort in one another.

Until one night, when an attack overpowers the horde and Lyras's best friend, she is faced with an unimaginable choice. To save Torrin, she would have to give up everything she knew, to give her life for his, to face a new reality that twisted her fate.

She would face the midnight forest alone and whisper the forbidden words, only to summon the most dangerous being in all realms.

Lyra would make a bargain with the Lord of Shadows.
