A science Fiction novel tangled in the psychology of being human and the vulnerability of an unconventional Love story
Grace was born a storyteller with a beautifully brilliant mind. Trauma twisted her reality into its own tale of darkness. Now, at eighteen, Grace has found herself on the shores of a shadow world created to heal a generation. A world whose purpose is to release our emotions from the bonds of youth.
But she is not alone. It's a world inhabited by others, those working on their own hearts and one other like herself. An amazing and yet afflicted empath and musician by the name of Kai that Grace feels inexplicably drawn to.
Will she be able to handle the suppressed memories of her youth? Accept the vulnerability necessary to explore her own heart and that of another? Fulfill the true purpose it seems she is destined to serve?
Come along with Grace as she learns to uncover her past, harness her gift, open her heart to love and embrace her future.
Excerpt
It was just like Sen had said it would be. All of a sudden, she just knew it was
here. It felt like time was catching up
to itself so she could be hurled back into her own world. Grace knew that there was no stopping it. She
had just a few moments before all of the knowledge of this place would leave
her, the Love, the Magic, the Pain, the Boy.
Her heart, even though it had been Uncovered and glistened
with the essence of pure emotion, began to break. A small and life-altering crack edged along
the perimeter. It made a quiet rolling
gesture along the surface of her heart and then as time found its trail of
breadcrumbs back home, the crack made for the center. It struck with the force of lightning. All it left in its wake was a single Love
letter. A song he sang to her playing
over and over again filling the void where her memory once was.
When she opened her eyes, she was alone in her
bathroom again. The knife she held so long ago, was lying lifeless in the sink
and all she could do was hum a strangely familiar tune, though she wasn’t sure
where she had heard it before.
