Against the Blues

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.
