Alliana is beautiful. Well, actually, she's a little TOO beautiful. So beautiful, that when someone looks at her, they die. Right. There. On. The. Spot. So, she's been kept in secret, away from everyone else. Alliana doesn't mind this, since she's never even looked in a mirror, but she wonders what it's like to go outside and meet other people. But, Alliana's whole life changes when Gabriel, who is blind, comes into the picture. Gabriel is the first person Alliana's ever seen, and is maybe even Alliana's first love!
