Synopsis:
Eighteen-year-old Araina was your
normal teenager or at least she believed that to be true. She had only two
things on her mind: graduating high school and getting away from home to start
a life all on her own. But after a tragic accident claims the life of her
mother, Araina is left dumbfounded and finds herself on a much different path:
enrolling in the local college in Austin.
Convinced that her mother’s death was no accident, she becomes obsessed with
finding out the truth, and becomes disconnected from everything around her in
the process.
That is … until she meets Lucca.
Lucca
is the captain of the Resistance: an elite group sworn to protect Araina. He
knows the truth about her mother’s death and the future attempts that will be
made on Araina’s life due to her being the great-granddaughter of Leto, mother
of Artemis and Apollo, which is why it is important he follow the one rule
given to him: Don’t get too attached.
It is his job to gain her trust and
somehow reveal her true lineage and what the fates have in store for her.
Araina is about to be thrown into a world she never knew and will have to come
to terms with the role she will play in the Resistance.
Will she stand up and fight or will
she lose the one thing everyone has been trying to protect?
Her Life.
Excerpt:
He walked the path back to the house they were using as their headquarters
at the moment; though it wasn’t much on the outside the inside made up plenty
for it. As he walked in through the door he stopped and looked to the right to
stare at his own reflection. Heavy bags hung under his eyes, his tan skin was
much duller and his black hair a mess.
“You need to get rest. Huntir and I have everything set up so take this
opportunity to gather your strength. Wearing yourself out like this will not be
beneficial in guarding her.”
Lucca turned
to his older brother Matteo, surprised that he had arrived so soon. “I know, I
will go take a shower and get rest, there is still a lot of work that needs to
be done.” He passed Matteo but not before laying his hand on his brother's
shoulder as if silently reassuring him not to worry and that he was fine.
Though his brother had pointed out his need for rest, his mind was running
around with too many unanswered questions with no way to solve them. But one
question he kept going back to was always the same, the one that would matter
most in the end.
When he finally reveals the truth to her will she rise from her sorrow and
be the savior they needed her to be? Or will she turn away and go into hiding
like her mother did and suffer the same fate? As he got to the top of the
stairs, without turning around he asked, “Why did you arrive ahead of schedule
brother?” he waited for his brother to reply, a heavy silence floated between
the two. He did not expect the next few words that came out of his brother’s
mouth.
“We have verification on who killed Aella.”
So what did y'all think of the cover? Isn't it great. The girl on the cover has beautiful hair. I wish I had thick hair like that. LOL
