THE BREAK
In Lait, a society defined by the markings that appear on your skin, to be ‘Written’ is close to a sin. So, covered in designations, Crown Prince Flynn Bennett is sure of one thing – he will die alone. The debris from the bombing covers too much, and it will take hours to find him.
All hope is lost until out of nowhere, an unknown angel pulls him from the wreckage. Desperate to escape the wrath of his father, he begs for her help. If he stays, he’s as good as dead anyway.
***
Scarlett Weatherwood might have escaped the King’s wrath, but she is still trapped in enemy territory, alone, and terrified.
As the Written companion of their future military leader, she is automatically assumed guilty of the castle’s destruction. Fleeing is her only assurance of safety. She has no clue what to do next – until the formerly Clean Crown Prince stumbles across her hiding spot.
The Break poses two questions – How do you deal with the loss of the life you thought you had? And how do you escape grief to find a new way forward?
