    About this ebook

    At times courage and perseverance are not enough to prepare us for what we thought we wanted. Some secrets are better left untold.

    Although Sade had always loathed herself for her disability, she had eventually learnt to live with it. But as her mother's lies unfold Sade realizes that there were those who loathed her crippled nature more than her; her own parents.

    With the news that her own family had abandoned her, Sade grows determined to find the people who had given her life. What she didn't prepare for was the greed, the manipulation, the malice and the blood shed that would follow as she attempted to topple a reign in search of home.

    Lines will be crossed, crowns will fall and castles will crumble. As in the end only the rain will keep her sane.

    And we all knew what rain does best... it falls.
