There is something about Ever that draws people into her, something unique, something mesmerizing. That something is the same thing that makes you want to protect her, to keep her from harm, to love her. It's not that she's abnormally beautiful, while she is beautiful in her own way, she isn't model like. It's just something.
That thing is what draws Erik to Ever. Once he sees her at school, he is automatically drawn into her, unintentionally finding himself wanting to know more about her. But Ever isn't like any other person, and Erik finds that out the hard way.
Follow Ever as she goes through the hardships of love, friendship, and sadness, whilst finding out more about herself and what she believes in along the way.
(This is NOT a supernatural story, I repeat, this is NOT about vampires, or werewolves, or fairies, or ghosts, or any of that other stuff. This is strictly a romance/teen fiction story. Enjoy :) )
