He saw me. He had me. But he won’t break me.

​

What should have been the beginning of my life felt more like a death sentence–an all-encompassing blackness.

​

 Evie, my twin sister and best friend, is no longer here. Now alone, I’ve become as dark as the man who tries to imprison me. Julian.

​

 He thinks he is all I have left in this world.

​

His to toy with. 

​

To manipulate. 

​

To fear.  

​

But that woman died along with her family that night, and a stronger woman rose from those battered waves, breathing in a newfound purpose–to take revenge and reclaim my life.

​

I am waiting on a black wave, biding my time, until a powerful wave rises in the aftermath of a storm, unexpectedly leaving casualties in its wake, ensuring I will once again be free.
