A fantasy novel for young adults. Daria loves Lev, but Lev is going to be sent away into the mysterious Cube with a band of survivors to build a new life. Or that's what they say, because no one has ever come out of the Cube again alive. When Daria is offered the chance, will she dare to join Lev?
Author's note: This book is an experiment on 'pantsing' a novel (as opposed to plotting it) every day (hopefully) until it is done. So I will update it as and when I write anything, no matter how small a section! Expect updates to be short.
Your feedback is welcome, so please leave a comment :-)
If you know a great cover artist who would be happy to make a cover for this book, please PM me. Thanks!
