Story Behind The Book
One thousand years ago, procreation with a mortal became illegal under immortal law.
If a child slipped through the cracks and was found, a Correction was sent to erase the immortal offspring and their entire genetic line. In time rules were set in place. The partially immortal offspring would be allowed to live untouched by the Correction until their 16th birthday. When they were deemed old enough to fight for their life.
Kayn and Chloe Brighton were never meant to be born. They were an immortal mistake. The Brighton twins are now sixteen years old, and their days are numbered.
The Correction is coming...
