Now, cursed to remain on Earth forever, Almana finds that her task is much more than she bargained for.

"I have never been drawn to dystopian/fantasy books before but this one landed in my lap and I have to admit I really enjoyed it.

TEASER

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

I alone beweep my outcast state

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,”

-Shakespeare, Sonnet 29

It is my name. It is my curse.

I am Almana.
