Have you ever wanted to forget? Nariella Woodlinn has. Many times. Especially when her already frustrating life gets turned upside down by a mysterious boy who randomly shows up in her small town and she can’t seem to understand anything about him, despite how much she tries.
Nari hates everything about her life except for her best friend Rydan, but now that they’ve been separated during their senior year of high school, she has to learn to make new friends without him. When strange unexplainable phenomenons start becoming an every day part of her life, Nari struggles to come to grips with reality. And with love.
Naminé has responsibilities. Duties. It is her obligation to fulfill all that is asked of her by their King. But when a glimmer of hope is introduced to her by a prisoner she tends to and it means life or death for her and her people, she does all that she can to turn that hope into reality and finally end the vicious war that has been ensuing since she was born. Even if that means keeping it secret from her King. Even if it means carrying out the biggest betrayal against the King ever seen during her time.
She has hope. She will fulfill her duty. She will not let her people down.
Excerpt:
As the novelty of surprise wore off the longer I sat listening to Mr. James go on and on about whatever, I couldn’t shake this eerie feeling that started creeping up my spine. For whatever reason, the new guy was beginning to freak me out. I had this strange alarming sensation in my gut, as if telling me he was dangerous. But all of it was nothing compared to what I felt out in the hallway after class ended.
I
had slowly stood up to gather my things, hoping that everyone, and I mean everyone
would leave and I could get to my next class without speaking to anyone. Or at
least one particular person.
But
as soon as I walked out the door, he was there next to me, making me almost
jump to the roof like a cat with my hair standing on end. He looked amused and
wore a very adorable smirk. He had backed me up against the lockers, pinning me
with only his aqua eyes and as he leaned down, both hands in his pockets, I
stood there trapped by my own wonder at what was about to happen. But all he
did was lean into the left side of my hair and took a long inhale of breath
through his nose, like he was smelling me.
“Mmmm”
was all he moaned, before he gracefully skipped backwards like a mountain lion
and walked away, leaving me now completely and utterly freaked. What the heck
was that? That had to be the creepiest thing I have ever experienced.
And
hottest.
But I refuse to acknowledge
that part.
