Synopsis
They say that true love withstands the test of time, but so does jealousy, sorrow and betrayal. Kyra has lived her whole life in a temple, blessed with spirit sight and cursed with nightmares of a life long forgotten. She has never known anything but peace, yet the taste of blood and war lingers in her mouth. A story of heroes once blessed, of a love that started a war between worlds, and of the rise and fall of immortals, Kyra sets out from her home to chase after what has long eluded her -- the truth of her very existence.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Everyone talks about immortality as though it is something to strive towards, to covet.

No one thinks about what becomes of you once it is gained, about the price that you pay to get there. After all, the minds of mortals are fragile, easily corrupted and driven to madness.

What happens to you when everything else falls away, as the void of eternity stretches before you? Do you hold the same morals? Or do your values fall like dominos as human concerns become obsolete?

Who are you when you are no longer bound by time and its rules?

What do you become when the world falls at your feet simply because it can no longer contain you?

At what point does the blessing of immortality become a curse?
