What if she could save one life? Just one. If I Tried, she knew, just maybe it was possible. Through tremendous pressure and constant turmoil, she unearths the true definition of what life is, and what it means to be human.

Hyacinth can only watch. Cursed with knowledge, the support of hundreds from her underground newspaper does nothing to make people understand, know, or ever truly believe. As Azdea could never avow the same sentiment, the unstoppable revolution shall either pass the test of time— or fall deep in disrepair for eternity. And what will be the price...

A girl, tormented by war, attempts to escape the excitement of life, only to be haunted by tragic events from her past, an unthinkable guilt, and a killer with an insatiable desire leading to an explosive ending in the Crescent City.​
