PART ONE - Chapter 1: Where Silvia Confronts Her Sins

**BOOK 1 IN THE TALES FROM DROMISSE SERIES**
Silvia considers herself the luckiest woman in all Dromisse. Her soon-to-be fiancé, Duncan Ora, is a candidate for Light Within, the greatest gift that the Almighty Gale can bestow upon someone. Then a rash decision born out of passion destroys everything. Silvia and Duncan's relationship crumbles, leaving her despairing and shattered.
Duncan is an open, confident man. Silvia has always known this about him, yet she swiftly discovers there's something he's obscured behind his captivating, electrical gaze--something dark.
When Duncan's world of secrets bursts open, Silvia is swept up in the fallout. In the wake of social and emotional devastation, she learns that not only is he hiding things, but that she is as well--even from herself. When the greatest horrors of her imagination come to life, she must come to terms with one thing: every bad thing that has happened is her fault, and hers alone.
Now everyone she loves is in jeopardy. Silvia must make a sacrifice or face the tragic consequences of her forgotten actions.
