Everyone knew his name but no one had ever called him by it for close to two decades. In that time, he had been no one else but the Lakhan, Supreme Guardian of Lawig, Protector of the Peoples, Lord of the Lake, Light of Danumlawa. 

But last night…last night…

He sat up in bed, still hearing “Joven” echoing in his head. 

It was his bride calling for him in his dream.

The bride he had buried fifty years ago.

I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am. I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think. The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place." So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's. Sounds like fun right? ------ What happens when Julie gets sent away? And what happens when her relatives receives a girl they had been brought to believe was a troublesome, borderline delinquent teenager, but is actually just a confused, dissociative little girl with a messed up idea of what family really means. And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?
