The Color of Stars (The Doctrina Series, #1) / The Doctrina Series (ePub)

"In the beginning, there was nothing but Chaos.Until he split himself in two, creating his equal, Gaea: the Mother of All Life, Creator of the Titans, Gods, and Stars.The two lovers bore the Primordial balances: Space, Time, Light, Dark, Love, and Hate, to see the infinite possibilities of what may... be.

They fell in love with their creation, and watched life slowly evolve. Together.

And there was peace.

The Titans, Gods, and demigods that now populate the Earth, thousands of years after the extinction of humans, are unburdened by the urgency of time.

The mortals had become so riddled with Darkness that balance was demanded, until Light hung like a veil of hope over the utopian land. Now, even the gloomy winter mornings smell like potential. Life is simply... s'wonderful."

-Professor Maeve Lykoudis, Doctrina's Historical Library, Immortal Beginnings Section A1

Unless, of course, you're Rae Andino.

Darkness seems to stalk her, Light so absent that she doesn't even have the shadows for company. Until someone equally as stubborn, powerful, and cursed by the Dark quite literally fell from the sky.

And maybe she could love him, could find her way to the Light and live in peace. If only she could stop herself from throwing stones at his glass heart, and find comfort in his arms-A fortress that a wanderer like her begs to call home. Maybe. If he didn't resemble a Demon with his black feathered wings and intoxicating charm, or fill her veins with acid every time they touch, then maybe, just maybe, she could greet the Light like an old friend,

and be happy.
