Prologue

Out of the darkness and into the light we all emerge from the flowers that housed us till birth. Born into the light of the sun all of our kind was, all but one. All but me.

Born in the darkest cave in the midst of night, a single beam of light seeps its way through the cave roof, that single strand caused the death of my mother flower. That single strand revealed the truth of my curse. The one of few things that makes me different from my kind, makes me unique, and makes me deadly.
