    About this ebook

    They were soulmates - a bond unbreakable, not even by the stretches of time and space. As Jordan and Lydia find their place together amongst the inhabitants of Threa, that bond is tested and pushed to its limits. But just because they were meant for one another, does it follow that their love will survive?

      Saying Goodbye to Sara

      Nov 10, 2021

      — We never really know when it will be the last time we talk to someone, the last time we see them, the last hug. The time was 2:23pm. Or there about. It’s hard to pinpoint the precise time when you’re in that deep sleep state where time seems not to
