Nobody knows a girl like Cyan. Her ice-white eyes show the pain of her broken soul. Self-appointed warrior, she fights against the darkness and shadows of a world hidden to most. She considers saving a boy’s life just part of her job, so Cyan is more than surprised when Oscar comes looking for her. He wants answers. She wants to be left alone.

As night and day collide with painful consequences, they are left asking if love really can conquer all… even when it seems impossible?
