In a world that has grown cold and distant, and hasn’t seen a child born in a long time, there comes a female unlike all the rest, possessing the ability to give them everything they need. Yet she has sworn to watch this new universe burn. A place that took everything from her and left her for dead.
There are those trying to convince her to save the world, while there are others trying to destroy her, and any hope she brings.

**PLEASE NOTE** In June 2015, Kimberly Sue Iverson gave up using her pen name, Ariana Browning, before that she wrote under A.H. Browne. The stories remain hers, only the name and the covers have changed. EVERYTHING is published under Kimberly Sue Iverson so if you're struggling to find my work that's why. This is the only site that keeps showing the wrong version of my name, and the old covers.**
This is an exceptionally brilliant piece of writing by Ariana and the story is totally absorbing and mystical. While on the streets, Hope runs into Darrok, an Eternal; she escapes from him, but from that moment on he relentlessly pursues her. In Jake, Hope finds a Father figure, but when captured by Gideon, he does his utmost to break her. During this time they share a passion which results in unbearable consequences. Hope needs help if she is to save the world from Darkness, and finds this in the arms of Ronin. Together, and with their combined powers, they finally outwit Darrok. There are various facets to this story which are totally enthralling. Hope is continually betrayed and finds it hard to trust, but unbeknown to her there are people who have been entrusted to help and assist her along her way. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
