Nevaeh is an 18 year old woman. Something is different about Nevaeh through. Her blue eyes. Some think blue eyes are beautiful, something to treasure. Something rare. Not now. Not with Nevaeh. Not where she lives. The government has forbidden blue eyed from living. While others only see her gray eyes, she faces the danger of dying each passing minute. But what happens when danger finally breaks through her barriers and attacks? And what happens when a certain blue eyed man decides that she needs help? Join Nevaeh through her journey of trying to put her life- and her world- back together. *** ' "Y-you know?" I stuttered. "From the day I met you. And that scar." He points to my cheek. "It's written in um..." Ash racked his brain for an answer. "Basque. It spells begi urdinak- blue eyes." I look down onto the page and notice a large scar scraping down the mermaid's cheek. It looked almost bloody, a large gash. However the creature did not look as if she was in pain. She almost seemed as if she relished the scar. It was almost a part of her. I only then looked at Ash's scar once more. The words seemed to come to me. Begi urdinak. "You have the blue eyes too." I gasp. "No. No. That's not right- you have green eyes." I push myself off the couch and look closely into his eyes. I saw blue. I saw a sea of blue- although I knew they were green. I had only seen them as green before. "Ash..." I say falling back on the couch. "What does this mean?" I ask worriedly. "This in most cases would mean you are going to be killed." '

In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.
