.... Nothing left.
Faye's soul-mate is everything she should hate - an Angel, an outcast, an enemy. Ashe is just one more imperfection in her life that somehow makes everything... perfect.
Until he's murdered.
With the only person she loves ripped away, Faye sets out to avenge Ashe's death. The task seems impossible, until she finds Lor - an Angel who looks nearly identical to Ashe's killer. Arrogant and hot-headed, Lor is everything Ashe wasn't. But Lor is connected to her soul-mate's past, and Faye needs him to find the killer -- even if Lor is potentially deadly.
But when Faye discovers that Ashe's past isn't as black and white as she thought, she faces an impossible choice: Give up the hunt, and risk the lives of others. Or continue pursuing Ashe's murderer, and forfeit the lives of everyone in her family -- including herself.

Character Interview with Faye from
"Counting Shadows"
Q: You fell in love
with Ashe at a very early age. How did this happen?
I'm not exactly sure. At first, I think Ashe just felt
gratitude toward me for saving his life, and I was just grateful to have a
friend. But that very quickly changed, and we were both in love. Maybe it was
because we were both seen as outcasts, and we bonded over that. Or maybe it was
just Fate that brought us together.
Q: Do you feel
responsible for Ashe's death?
On one hand, I know it wasn't me who wanted him dead. But on
the other hand, I just keep replaying all the things I could have done
differently. Maybe if I'd found out the murder plan earlier, or ran away with
him, or never even met him… I don't know. What happened has happened, and now
all that matters is revenge.
Q: You want revenge
for Ashe's death. Why? Wouldn’t it be better to let go of the past?
Of course not. Ashe's murder isn't something I can just
"let go of". The man who killed him deserves to be punished, and if
no one else will do it, then I will.
Q: Your country
accuses you of being a magic-user. What do you say to this?
It's ridiculous. I've never used the dark arts, and I never
will. My visions of the past just come to me, and I don't know why. But it's
certainly not magic. Besides, it's not like my visions hurt anyone.
Q: How do you feel
about the Angels?
I loved my Ashe, but he was different from most Angels. He
was kind and quiet and loving. But I've heard the stories of what real Angels
are like; they're angry and deadly. I think it's a good thing the Angels were
banished from our continent.
Q: What about the
Fae, Dragons, and all the other species who still live on your continent?
I don't really know what to think of them. My country,
Irrador, has banned most of their species from crossing our borders. Only
humans are truly accepted here. We trade with the other species and try to keep
peace between our countries, but I don't know much else about their kind.
Q: What will you do
in order to catch Ashe's murderer?
Anything. Absolutely anything.
Q: And what will you
do when you find the murderer?
I'll give him the only thing he deserves: Death.
