PREFACE

'For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.'
William Penn

Some say the world will end in fire, that this year will be the last the earth will see. I say bring it on, I’m ready. I'm not afraid of what lies ahead. I've seen first hand what the universe can bring, whether in this world or beyond. I have him by my side for eternity, and together no one can stop us. After three years we are fused as one. The day I moved to the Castle, everything I believed in and hoped for was turned upside down. Within a year the afterlife had grabbed me and consumed me, leaving me breathless - wanting more.
Until those days, I had been the ultimate non-believer who never considered the possibility of ghosts. Losing mom so young had made me cynical about such things – the afterlife just couldn't exist. It was just a desperate hope for those hanging onto loved ones. They were too afraid to let go. I shunned anything that would eventually cause pain. Love, friendship, trust—it all just faded away. Along with our beliefs, it would all turn to dust on the day we were laid to rest. But that was then and this is now; my world has completely changed.
I can no longer deny the supernatural. Now, I know that it is entrenched in every part of this world. Together we fought against its horrors and lost, but I picked up powers of my own and, along the way, I would see him return. With my friends, we fought our way through mysteries, outwitting the foes that would see us destroyed if we gave them half a chance. The Castle had become a gateway to Purgatory, and us the protectors for the innocent souls. The Governance would help us and Vanquishers try to wound us – but together we stood strong.
As the Aurelia, we shall fight that Darkest of Angels and protect the Transients and mortal souls. Fire may try to consume, and Ice may block our path, but our destiny hangs on how united we stand – our love unbreakable forever and one day.
