Emergence Breath of Life

Rae struggles with the new responsibilities as a Ruler and guardian to an orphaned child. These difficulties are exacerbated more so by the ever growing urgency for a cure and treatment to the Breather's effect on humankind. Her second in command, Gideon, is her unwavering support, though as time progresses, so do their feelings for each other. Yet to her dismay, the Council members suddenly decree that she must choose a suitor... one that is not Gideon himself! Hearts intertwine, complications arise and Rae's feet itch for freedom outside the walls of her segmented prison.Going against the advice of her second, she sneaks from the walls for a midnight run across the wastelands. The blatant disregard of his suggestions subsequently lands her in strife, but also leads her to discover new abilities hidden deeply within her? and the brother she knew nothing of. Cillian. Perhaps their combined blood will be sufficient to finally create an Immunity and cure... but will it be enough to restore a soul? Or will the heart of someone once human forever be tarnished?
