Sonya Lano

Luminesce Sonya Lano

I didn't start out like this.

Unsalvageable, dangerous, guilty of manslaughter, and unloved.

Before the mutation, I was only unloved. I lived in a spacious mansion with a father who never looked me in the face, and in secret I drew Lunar Adurian, the scarred guy who was always watching me, and who I hoped was unloved, too. I wanted him, at least, to understand.

Then the mutation hit us all. Lost, I entered the heart of rebellion with Lunar... but no dark underworld waited to tear me apart.

It's Lunar who reeks of heartache and wants to hurt me. He hates what I am.

But he's also the person who awakens my sleepy soul, who takes what was unloved and drizzles it with honeyed hope. He wants me to love him even as he wants me to hurt. It's a constant push and pull, on a balance we're both afraid to tip.

In the end, though, there's always a little self-destruction in love.
