"And in the end, even the stars choose self destruction over life"

Blaze Davis is the girl in the shadows. The one no one notices but if given a chance, could light up your world with a personality as unique as the scars adorning her body like damaged armour. She has secrets no one knows and hidden beneath that mask is a broken soul.

She's seen pain in it's ugliest form. From losing her best friend to being a victim of constant abuse by her boyfriend, Blaze's life is no short of being called a wreck. She knows hurt like the back of her hand. For her, life resembles a tragic poem she can recite from the depths of her heart, knowing she'll always be stuck in the same verse and destined to a doomed path. Building up walls and trying to cement the cracks became more of a task rather than a coping mechanism, giving rise to a closed-off and withdrawn shell.

Enter Rafael Hernandez. The Loner Bad Boy. A person with no shortage of wounds himself. He has demons of his own, fighting to take over. Plagued by the regrets and shadows of his past, he manages to hide behind a tough exterior of arrogance and hostility. Resorting to the darkness dwelling in the shadows of his mind, he's on the road to a catastrophic spiral that could leave him lifeless and desolate.

What happens when he takes a sudden interest in the girl who flinches with the slightest movement and tears up at the sound of a raised voice? Could this boy be enough to break down her walls? Or will he deepen her scars until she bleeds out from the pain?

A storm of emotions like pain, love, agony, hurt, trust are unleashed when two lost souls intertwine in a hope to be found again.
