A Taste of Serendipity

People live forever in Wisteria, it's always been that way. The water from the Rialta is available to everyone and life in Wisteria is carefully balanced, but typically idyllic aside from a few things here and there. Eira has just turned 26 and she still isn't sure what she's meant to do with her life. She spends most of her time painting and up-keeping the small cottage her mother left in her care. She's never felt ungrateful for her simple life, but knows there must be more out there. Alder's family has trained him from birth in preparation for the possibility of a power struggle over the Rialta and the precious water it holds. He's known nothing but learning leadership and control and wouldn't have it any other way. Wisteria is about to lose its precariously balanced peace and soon Eira will long for the days of quiet solitude as much as Alder wishes power was everything he expected it to be. Can either of them hold onto the pieces of themselves that they so desperately need, or will every little thing change and pull them apart?
