The world is dying. Everyone feels it, and yet, no one knows. They said that when the end was near, a Bridge would come, and lead them out of the darkness of that dying world. Allie’s life was relatively normal… Until Revik showed up. And told her she was that Bridge. NOTE: This is a serialized novel.
