No, the darkness has always been her friend.

But not Carys. No, the darkness has always been her friend. When everyone else is tucked away, sleeping soundly in their beds, she can be found propped up against her favourite tree down by the river – by her river. It’s almost unfathomable; mystical even. It is an urge that has always been there. A magnetic but innate pull that draws her closer and closer to the water’s edge. Lulled by the hypnotic whispers of an enchanting song, it never fails to entice her back, time and time again. Carys is not your typical high school girl. She is a loner. She learns early on in life that friends are a luxury that she simply cannot afford. So she doesn't even try. She erects walls to protect herself, stopping anyone from getting too close. And it works for a while…until two boys come along. Piece by piece, brick by brick, both Harrison and Jasper chip away at the fortress around Carys’ heart. And although at first reluctant, she lets them. She lets them in – against her better judgement – each one in their own unique way. But then everything changes. One night…one storm… Carys is torn from the only life she has ever known and transported into a new world. A foreign, but strangely familiar, world. All the norms she has taken for granted are instantly blown to pieces. Her beloved village…the handful of people in her life…the very sun in the sky…all things of the past in the blink of an eye. But this new world is on the brink of destruction. And Carys is somehow linked to its fate…Harrison and Jasper too. All is not what it seems. There is a prophecy…and Carys is the key to fulfilling it. What do you do when you realise that the fate of an entire existence is on your shoulders?…Or that your entire life is based on a lie? I tell you what you do: You stand tall…hold your chin up high…and you fight! This book is suitable for teen, young adult and adult audiences. less
