At the break of their eighteenth birthday, the young adults of Selkie travel in droves to drink Sunburst. The serum is concocted by the priests, who in ceremony bless each person in finding their Twin Ray.

Islet has waited eighteen long years and is eager to know the face of her soul mate. In a cruel twist of fate, she learns that the Holy One has paired her with royalty. But not just any royalty, Prince Cerulean of the neighboring country, who has recently announced his engagement to Princess Marilla of Selkie. The same princess that Islet can't stand.

Twin Ray

Silver chains swing from the loop of his pants to the inside of his pocket. Three solid, gold rings decorate his lean fingers. 


Prince Cerulean takes his time thumbing through all the files.


His boots thud against the hardwood floors and his cologne masks his earthy scent, replacing it with a spicy, masculine smell.


“You’ve learned a lot in such a short time,” he says.


I smile. It’s taken a while to understand him but I think I can finally read him. 


“But it’s not enough,” he turns his blazing eyes on me. 


‘Okay maybe I’m not as good at reading him.’


“If you tell me what’s unsatisfactory, Your Highness, I will fix it in any way I can.”


Prince Cerulean comes and stands next to me. He drops the stack of papers on the desk between us. 


The wind blows harshly through the window. Threatening to blow all the papers away. I catch them with my hands trying not to break eye contact.
