blurb:
Nineteen-year-old
empath Muriel thinks being a freaky genius who projects her feelings onto
others is the worst curse possible. When she can’t control it, she channels
depression to her sister who slits her wrists. Overwhelmed with guilt and
wanting to protect her family from her curse, Muriel moves to Madrid,
Spain.
In
Madrid, Muriel discovers her curse isn’t the worst that can happen. Shadowy
creatures try to kill her by absorbing her soul, and she doesn’t know why.
Creatures of light, called Luxben appear to help. With no one else to turn to,
Muriel accepts their offer of shelter. Now Muriel is in the middle of an epic war
that has been raging in the city for decades, without the human population
noticing and between creatures that don’t even exist in fiction. What she
desperately needs to know is why her soul is so special.
She
shares an instant mutual attraction with the Luxben leader, Dalkiel, even
though she sees his light is a dark glowing shadow. This attraction not only
evolves into lust and love but into new gifts for both of them that they can’t
explain.
