~Golden~
We thought to save the world, but killed it instead. Now hundreds of years later, two beings war for control of the remnants: the humans and the fae.

Areana:
Females aren't normally Blades. We're meant to love and nurture, we're meant to bond the tribes together. But I can't be soft and welcoming. I can't say sweet words and make men simper. I'll never love. My body isn't pure anymore, and my soul certainly isn't. Since I can remember I've been haunted by visions--I've had to rely on drugs to stay sane. But now the drugs aren't working anymore. It's too strong, too hard to hold it all down. I'm cursed with this poison inside me, and now I'm sure I'll be swallowed by it soon...

Marec:
She's been gone too long. I've been glancing at the door for four hours now, expecting her to slink through it any second. I need to see her face so bad it makes my chest ache. I shouldn't have waited this long to claim her. But I need to make sure she's ready. There's this porcelain quality to her. Those ice blue eyes of hers, making her look so young, so innocent--even though I've made her a murderer.

Colm:
This was supposed to be simple. In and out, get the information and get home. But now that I've seen her, I can't let her slip away. I will take her home--over the wall--show them her eyes. Those eyes of ice-blue that speak of hidden power. How did a human come to possess such a thing?
