We knew each other, once.
They took me away from him.
Night after night, we see echoes of the past. He relives the moment I was taken from him. I relive the moment I was 'rescued.' I came out on the other side a different person. Left with no allies aside from my twin brother and our guardian fae dragons, I resigned myself to protecting the only family I had left.
Our people fear darkness and my command of it. My brother is their shining light. They think that I'll bring them ruin, that interacting with me will curse them. When our country's isolation from the world Below is broken, and beings reminiscent of demons appear in our midst, it falls to me to destroy or save them.
That chance meeting would lead to another.
But...I won't grow attached. I can't.
Of Astral and Umbral is a slow burn romantic fantasy series with strong language, violence, dark and mature themes, and inhuman characters.
