Morgana was anything but ordinary.

She had no memories of the time before she was fifteen years old, of the time before she'd appeared out of nowhere on a young woman's doorstep. She was haunted by strange, scarily realistic nightmares that not even the doctors could explain away. And there wasn't a trace of her anywhere, no records, no missing persons reports, nothing.

But no one ever bothered to dwell on that thought for long. At least . . . not until a strange man appeared out of nowhere just as she had.

But he remembered. And he triggered something within her, something instinctual, an unexplainable, petrifying terror.

But by the time Morgana found out why, it was too late. She'd already been caught up in the web of this man's twisted thousand year obsession.

And he wasn't just about to let her go.

This book is NOT a romance novel.

The actions and behaviors portrayed in this story are not acceptable in ANY circumstance. They should not be romanticized or considered justifiable ever. Absolutely nothing gives a person any excuse to harm another.

That is to say, this is a story. This is fiction. We need to make sure we remember and are aware that in real life, out here in the physical world, you know that place we see when we look up from the book, no kind of abuse (whether physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological) is tolerable in any way whatsoever. When we delve into fiction, though, many of us use it as an escape from reality and as a way to feel not so alone in our experiences and emotions. Reading and enjoying this story does not mean you condone any of the actions of these characters, as you shouldn't. Fiction is a complicated being that serves all sorts of purposes and means all sorts of things.

For me, it is an outlet, a way to feel valid by expressing pieces of myself to the extreme.

For you, whatever it is, remember to accept yourself just as you are, take care of yourself, and get as much enjoyment out of this life as you possibly can.

And never forget.

You deserve to feel safe.
