The Foundling One night. That's all it took for my life-my world-to be forever altered. It was supposed to be a fun outing with Cassie to kick off my first year of college, and that's how it started: fun. But there was so much I didn't know: I didn't know Magick-Power-existed outside of fairytales, or that every creature of myth and legend-Immortals-prowls the earth, masquerading as humans. I didn't know that I'd meet Daniel, or that we'd share a kiss that set us on Fate's bloody Path. I didn't know that his touch would awaken the long-forgotten magick of my bloodline, or that his own Power, feared by everyone who knew him, would be my saving grace. I didn't know I would be hunted, and haunted... The Bane Her eyes-amber pools of compassion and knowing-are never far from my thoughts. I can't begin to explain the pull I felt towards her at that party; I don't know why I goaded her into that kiss, or why her timid gentleness set my entire being on fire, but everything in me-even the icy darkness of my Power-wanted her, and still does. Her Power is warmth and light, and her touch is a tenderness that makes my heart ache. She's the first person in a long time that doesn't look at me with fear or disgust, and I find myself desperately wanting to use my darkness to shield her vibrant light. She calls to the very depths of my soul, driving my magick and I as one to protect her, to spare her from the blood and pain that is Immortality, and let her embrace the Hidden Realm in a way I never can. I don't care what she is, or why she carries my coven's Mark. Her fate is mine.
