In the Light of the Eclipse
Summary
Where God so loved the world, Heather (or, as few have dared to dub her, "the goddess of condemnation") holds a much crueler hand over her inhabitants. Every 17 years, under her ever-watchful eye, an eclipse renders her land dark, taking the soul of everyone over the age of 17 to the land of the unknown nothing. In its wake, Heather bestows the gift of a child upon the land. Some believe this child has special powers; others believe she inhabits the souls taken by the eclipse. But no matter the belief, one thing is certain - without the child, the land would crumble. Most accept the eclipse and live every breath with a love unmatched by any other. This is especially true of Zoe, whose 17th year of breath nears ever so close. Born under the eclipse, Zoe understands her life is a gift and that she will return that gift in kind - whenever that day may be (that is until she falls in love and discovers the dark secrets hidden in the heart of Heather). Still, others yearn for a longer life and curse Heather's name. One such person was branded the name Kayla on her day of breath 18 years ago. Unable to comprehend the meaning of such viciousness, Kayla believes such a sacrifice is unnecessary, even for the worst of mankind. Little does she know that a mysterious traveler may hold the key to ending the eclipse forever. Zoe and Kayla are best friends. This is their story.
