The Fallen
You know what has come to be but do you know where it began?
Before Nisha. Before Adrianna. Before the countries even had names, there were the Star Cities. Ruled each in their own way… all answering to one.
Primitiva was born the second daughter of the royal house of Lunaista. She was born for greatness. Born to be the first as her name suggested. If she stayed on her safe little star she would either die without ever knowing her true potential or be forced into marriage. Neither appealed to her.
A vision told her the truth. Death would come for her if she stayed. Leaving her only child under the cover of darkness she did the unthinkable and dove into the abyss. Somewhere out here was her destiny. Somewhere she would find a way to help her sister survive.
Somehow the child that she saw in her vision would be born. That child would one-day rule Both Pallas and unify the Star Cities. She just had to make sure the bloodlines for that that birth would come forth. Even if it meant turning her back on all that, she had ever known.

OMG. Love it. As a prequel it raises more questions that need to be answered. So I guess there will be another book that can bridge the gaps. In face according to the Author's page there is. So I'm good. I will be waiting until i can get my hands on it. The Letter to the reader is a wonderful touch to connect with the reader and bring them into the world that is being created.
