New Release My name is Rhealyn Graystone, and I was born heir to a throne I did not want. A throne of the gods responsible for the destruction of my realm. Daughter of the evil god king, I witnessed first hand the atrocities the gods - a race so powerful we share our souls with our own demigod guardians - inflicted on my realm. When my mother, guardian to my evil god king father, was killed when I was ten years old, I escaped into the human world before the darkness took hold of me, too. I now go by Rhea. A silent nobody hidden among the street kids of Detroit, far away from the cursed life of the gods. It's not a per- fect life, but at least I'm safe from my father's rule. I'd escaped my fate, and I was never going back. At least, that was my plan. After six years on the streets, my time of refuge was over. On my sixteenth birthday, my five demigod guardians came bearing news. News I'd fought the last six years to hide from. My father had been killed. And they were here to bring me home. FOLLOW N.M.
