Blurb/Synopsis:
Ava knows much more, and feels much more than she is allowed
to. When she starts questioning her origins and the destruction of Earth,
things go horribly wrong for her. She is saved by a Minoan boy from an attempted
kidnapping on her life – the perpetrators are evil Zulus and their dark ancient
magic. Humans and Minoans are forbidden to interact with each other, and as she
is taken back to their village she finds out why – they know of her, her kind
and her destiny to save a dying race. Ava must rid them from the Council’s
ruling and free the galaxy of The Shadow. Her destiny is to rise above the
fall, because within her soul is the key to an archaic weapon that has been
missing in the mix of a genetic code since the time of the ancients. As the
prophecy unfolds she learns of her bloodline – a bloodline that makes her less
human than she could ever have imagined. She alone has the power to destroy or
save, but the mind-shift is a horrible thing. Ava will become what she hates to
save the ones she loves. Beaten, poisoned, possessed and betrayed by her own
emotions, she has no choice but to rise above it all… for that is her
Destiny.
Prologue
All my life, I had searched for something, something I
thought I ought to be. I felt like I was living someone else’s life, waiting
for the awakening of my own. I felt like an empty shell burning for life. That
was, until the day I lay dying in the prince’s chambers. I could no longer feel
the pain from the tear in my gut. The only sensation left was a hollowed-out
feeling that I had made a huge mistake in assuming that taking my own life,
would have stopped the ancestors’ spirit from raging out. I had given up. I
didn’t want to see myself killing the ones I loved. I was the Chosen one, but I
threw it all away for what I thought would save a life. Could you end a life to
save a life? I did, and I have regretted it ever since. I realized then that
things like me are not meant to exist. What had been missing my whole life? It
was I. To find myself, I had to lose myself in the worst possible way. The
consequences of my actions became the legend of The Broken.
