Prologue

September 15th, 1979 - Augustas Family Ranch; Austin, Texas

Saraine held her newborn daughters in her arms as her mother told her the story of how she was born.

Saraine listened intently as she watched the two little girls sleeping quietly. They were beautiful, so beautiful. But Saraine was afraid. Afraid for her daughters. Two months before, she'd baragined with an evil man in order to protect her then unborn twins. If she was not to give up one of them, she would lose them both.

But, later that day she was faced with a surprise, and gave birth to a third child. A boy. She knew then what she would have to do.

The next day, the man arrived at the ranch to collect one of Saraine's children. But, Saraine's mother had long since gone, taking one of the girls with her.

The man snarled at Saraine when he discovered that she had not been pregnant with twin boys, but rather a girl and a boy. He told her the girl sharing her womb with him may have damanged the child, and tore him from her arms, leaving Saraine and her husband with only one child to care for. But Saraine and her husband promised each other to take care of their last child, and protect her from danger.

But they couldn't have seen the future, and the destiny already planned out for their children. A destiny that their last daughter would have to unravel herself.
