   Summary

   Enid should have drowned when she fell abroad her cruise, but in her final moments, she felt the ocean speak to her: it grants her a second chance at life in the LADs universe if she agrees to help mend the broken heart of her favorite character—Rafayel.

   But Enid is depressed, fresh out of an abusive relationship, and struggling to find her self-worth in a world that constantly undermines it. Can a broken person really heal another broken person? And what about Rafayel's centuries of unrequited love for MC?

   This is an introspective, smutty (Chapter 4 onwards) and very fluffy adventure about the whirl-wind romance between two broken people. There is occasional angst but no stupid miscommunication.

   I have written up to Chapter 10, but I am going to be gradually rolling out 1-2 chapters a week to give myself time to edit and polish. Enid's experiences and feelings mirror my own as someone with CPTSD, but I understand it will not represent everyone's experience with trauma and depression.
