The Lost One

by Christi Anderson

Time is endless to Nikos as he wanders through life in bitter loneliness ... without that which was his ... without the love of the woman who belonged to him ... without the part of his soul that was ripped away from him that fateful night. At the brink of insanity, he simply exists until he hears it; at first just a distant and rhythmic beating of a drum but then a possibility for the renewal of his spirit, Nikos detects, however faint, a sign that she has returned. Could it be that the same ugly fate that destroyed him so long ago has come again to restore him? Far away, Grace clings to life in an ICU. Knowing very little of how she came to be in the hospital, she struggles with the confusing memories of an existence that could not possibly be her own. Unable to share what she is experiencing with those there to help her, she believes she is all alone as she enters into an unknown and frightening world where the man in her dreams draws her to him. It is a race against time as Nikos's ability to refrain from taking what was, is and will be his for eternity dwindles, their enemies gather to thwart any attempts at an awakening and the subsequent return of The Lost One.
