False Awakening Story

Every story must begin somewhere, even if it should be at the point where reality and dreams intersect.

Corinne "Rin" Delacroix never lingered too long on the circumstances of her birth. People often tell stories about that night, when a near immortal child was released into the world, cloaked in a pearly white luster that marked her as an empath. And created not a minute later when she breathed her first breath was a vessel, the source of her life and power, in a vinyl doll's form. So long as this vessel survives, she would thrive and prosper.

The girl grows into a talented mage and performer. Even at the tender age of nineteen, Rin is known across the Lanus continent for her dances, during which she uses her empathic abilities to transfuse happiness into the minds of those who watch. After one particularly harrowing night a palace guard locates the theater where she works only to announce that her audience is requested by Lanus' ailing princess.

Danger lies on the horizon for both Rin and her enigmatic partner, Valentine. Too often does history repeat itself, and the grudge between empaths and royalty has yet to vanish—will she find sanctuary in the palace, or will she fall like others before her? As Rin fights for a young girl’s life, she draws ever closer to the secrets buried just a stone’s throw away...
