  Summary

  A question asked, a brand new start
  Two souls bound, never to part
  A bond of blood, a bond of pain
  Twice was given, twice will be gained.

  OR

  As Grace heals from the after effects of almost dying, a man appears into his life out of thin air, along with a new danger. As they and their friends work on healing their wounds, physical and mental, surprising bonds form, although not unwelcome. Trust must be built fast as Simon and Grace face the new threat from within.

  I’m bad at writing summaries, sorry. I promise this one will be interesting eventually!
