Brief Author Bio:

I'm 19 years old, and I'm a Sophomore Communications major at Thomas More College. I used to write a lot, but haven't done much in a really long time. I hope this helps me pick it back up!

Synopsis: Don't Ever Look Back

Five years ago, a teenage girl was found in an abandoned house in the country of Creation. She was alone, naked, barely breathing, and bleeding heavily from open gashes on her back. She woke up in complete mental darkness; her memory was completely gone. She couldn't recall her name, where she was from, or how she’d gotten in her condition. The only thing found on her was a note she’d had crumbled in her fist, reading, “Melanya, don’t ever look back.

Twenty now, Melanya still has nothing pertaining to her past but her name and that scrap of paper. Out on her own, she has attempted to move on with her life, by doing the only thing possible in her situation: starting completely over. But, the scars on her back are a constant reminder of what she is trying to leave behind. There are frequent phantom pains, as if something is missing where the scars now reside. Everything around her always feels like it’s missing something, but she isn’t going to look back and try to find her past.

Instead it finds her. When an image of a robotic creature, who calls himself Draerr, appears in her apartment and tells her she needs to get out—and now—Melanya barely has time to second guess the warning before her front door comes crashing in. She’s attacked by a brute of a man, and in a moment of fear, a power is unleashed from her--a power she would have never guessed she had in her.

There’s an entire world that she’s forgotten. A world that has been hidden from the eyes and minds of the Human race. A world with magic, and creatures, that the Human race believed only happened in fairy tales. And according to the droid that has taken to following her around--but swears he can’t tell her anything more than he already has--it’s high time she rediscovered it. Because, apparently, she’s the one who is destined to save it. After five years of following the only advice she believed valid, she’s finally going to start looking back.
