Drea, former prince of Aque

Confused. Curious. Reckless. Unintentional heartthrob.

I used to be a prince; my family has ruled Aque for centuries on end, and I was the heir. I was supposed to keep our line going, take on the throne. The common spirits loved me, as did the high-class ones; no one wished me ill. I had all that I could ever want, and best of all, someone loved me.

But it never felt right. Never felt complete. One day I left my beautiful home, my palaces, my friends, and my love on an errand.

I found someone on that errand. And I ran with her and never looked back. I went from an elite of the spirit world Silo, a free soul, to a common drudge under the Regime. For one little girl, one bright spirit.

A little mortal girl became my world. A girl who had a soul brighter than any spirit I'd ever seen. A mortal girl who'd been stripped of pride, but never broken.

If only she wouldn't put herself in the path of the Regime.
