In this ironic account of past versus present, the parallel stories of four young people from the past and four from the present are brought to you in tantalizing fashion. They are all forced to face the dark sides of their personalities when confronted with love, greed, sex, violence, and, in the end, discovery. Peppered with graphic visuals (you can almost taste the dirt and smell the cinders), these accounts of life in both modern and classical eras will appeal to the senses and render readers awestruck by the passionate plot and poignant characters. TL Gardner (Horror) and Michelle McGriff (Mystery), two fresh voices on the mainstream scene, step away from their normal genres to entertain readers with this paradoxically unique story.
