Eternal Night
I used to think my mother was crazy. At least until I woke up one day missing an entire year of my life. I remembered nothing except the night I found her dead in our home. Nothing of how I crossed an ocean. Nothing of how I ended up in the manor my mother once lived in.
Now I know she was crazy. Because I am too. I feel it. It drives me and is all I think about. I want to know who stole my memory. I want to know who murdered my mother. I want the truth.
Unfortunately, every time I get an answer, it leads to more questions. But I am determined to walk this path. Even if it leads somewhere no one can follow.
I will soon learn that I am a mage of an ancient race who exist only in hiding. I know it is true because I feel it—the power—coursing through my blood. It controls me, and I let it.
I am Anna Valyria, and I am a student at Nightfall Academy, an elite training grounds for promising young mages disguised as a preparatory school in the English countryside. As soon as I arrived I was causing a stir amongst the pureblooded mages who ran things. I didn’t know what I was then, but he did.
Blake.
It was, of course, after, I fell in love with him that I discovered a secret that would change how I felt about him. Something I could never forgive him for. What’s worse, and that I have yet to even realize, is that he knows who I really am.
And to protect my identity, he is willing to sacrifice everything.
