"She knew he was the loveliest man she'd ever seen--and probably would ever see.
And she had to kill him."
The out of balance world requires a physical embodiment of light and dark. Raised in the woods by her guardian, the only thing Mila knew about her other, darker half, Ashton, was that he wanted her powers badly enough to kill her.
That is, until they meet: nothing goes as planned, and they're inexplicably drawn to each other, in every sense. Mila is learning she won't get rid of Ashton so easily, nor is he the real enemy. She'll have to find another way to achieve harmony for the world-and it looks like the solution resides in Ashton.
