Author's Note

Anias Waters, a seventeen-year-old girl, was named by the guild because of her impressive knowledge of vast healing properties. She's been there since she was seven and has aided in over ten wars.

Grayson Woods, an eighteen -year-old boy, was named by the guild for his leadership skills and large build. He's been there since he was ten and has fought in 26 wars.

They met when Grayson fought in his first war, at age fourteen, where he suffered a minor gunshot wound and, during his recovery, discovered how similar they were.

This next war will be one they'll never forget.
