  Each day begins with the Claxton. It wakes him from his sleep. It tells him to work. It sends him home. It is the only structure of time, something he can not even feel occurring, that exists for him. Even then, everywhere he turns there are those boxes that collect his blood as payment for his needs and desires. They pull at him hungry for this blood. The pain is unbearable, but it must be taken if he is to eat, ride the train, even enter his own apartment. 
  He has no memory of how he arrived here, where ever here is. Everything before this life seems like a dream, the kind that appears to him in sleep, between those invading Claxton bells blaring him awake. Demanding he move. 
  It covers him in terror, worry. The whole of this world is blanketed by dread and the sinking feeling of falling away from himself at all times. 
  Until he meets her. The woman in the golden cage, who’s bloody tears can bring comfort from pain, heal wounds, and end suffering. 
  All the while the never-ending day sits above them; a brilliant white star glaring down. Watching, revealing it stands as the center of all reality. Never changing.

  She is a brilliant healer, cast aside and betrayed by those she once called family, her life torn apart by ruthless schemes. Yet, from the ashes of her shattered past, she rises—armed with unmatched skills and a mind as sharp as a blade, ready to conquer a world filled with betrayal, danger, and secrets waiting to be unraveled.

But as they are drawn together by forces neither can control, their rivalry transforms into something far more compelling—a delicate balance of mutual trust and simmering tension. 
  Together, they navigate a treacherous world where alliances are fleeting, enemies lurk in shadows, and fate seems determined to test their mettle. With his unwavering support, she discovers strength she never knew she possessed and dares to reach for a love she thought beyond her grasp. But can two hearts, so different yet so alike, find a way to heal and fight for the life they truly deserve? 
  This is a story of resilience and redemption, where ambition collides with destiny and hearts are put to the ultimate test.

  Love.  Perhaps the one word solution for everything.  An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for.  A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile.  Love reflects, changes and embraces us all.    
   
  In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country.   
   
  Perhaps our first love is the one that captures us more completely than any other, save of course if we meet ‘the one’.   
   
  In our young years emotions rage, consume, and boil over with an intensity that almost shocks us.  Yet we are devoted to its path and can see no end in sight, perhaps they are ‘the one’.
