On Diamant's 14th birthday, the strangest thing happened. A witch had almost killed her while warning her to stay away from the past. Diamant and her grandpa were people who lived on a survival skill of running and hiding from an unknown that relentlessly chased after them and threatened their lives. 

One night, this skill of Run and Hide met its end at the hands of a war brought upon their village by the mighty King of Alusa, the Dragon Lord. Having lost everything in the war, Diamant is driven by rage and grieve to seek revenge against the King. This is no easy task as she will get entangled in lies, conspiracy, betrayal, love, war and magic. In all these, she discovers there are important questions about her life that only the past has answers to.

Will she delve into the past to seek these answers which may cost her everything including her life? Or will she face the present, forgo knowing these answers and live the life she is struggling to build for herself?

Diamant

Natty bit her lips, shame and regret in taking over her. "I forgot." 


She had hoped it would be something else but this? It just hurt far too much. 


Nancy started slowly before she leaned back into that carefree voice. The one she was obviously using as a coping mechanism. 


"All those nights I got chosen over and over again, while I endured one more touch with hope that you would come. So all those nights while I waited, you forgot?" 


"How could you?" Her voice was quiet, so quiet. 


"I'm sorry." Her voice was strained with tears now. 


"It is not enough! It is not enough to be sorry!" Nancy swept away the tears that were now straying down her cheeks angrily. "It isn't." 


She stepped further away wanting to create some distance between them. 


"I can't blame you. The palace is so comfortable, you'd forget anything in there." 


"No, that is not it. I didn't want anything to do with this life anymore. I wanted it to be a past, a dead memory..."
