Prologue

Something has always felt slightly off in Eli's life, ever since she fell into a coma two years ago. But she could never have guessed the truth—while she was fast asleep, her heart was lost within the darkness…and her soul roamed free.

On her 18th birthday, Eli Underwood is swept away to a world of magic and mayhem, darkness and light, where beings without hearts walk among the living and the living are hardly humane. A place where guns and roses are the only mode of living and darkness lurks within the shadows of the light.

There, Eli discovers she is the Somebody of Lexi, a skilled but compassionate assassin who left a lasting impression on the people.

As Eli and her friends retrace the steps of her other half and gather the clues leading to her final moments, they learn of Organization XIII; an organization intent on tracking down Eli & silencing her inner demon for good.

Now Eli will learn just how far she'll go to grant an Assassins last wish, to stop a mysterious evil that no other human has ever dared face before…and to find love with a beautiful stranger who’d rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

Set six years prior to the start of Kingdom Hearts and four years following the Events in Birth by Sleep, Road to Dawn takes us on the incredible Journey of Eli Underwood, the somebody of ex-Organization member number XIII.
