Full name: Keira Haylen Faye [Dark-Gaelic/ Light-English/ Fairy, variant of faith, trust, and belief-Unknown]
While she wears her heart on her sleeve and is seemingly fragile, Keira is unaware of her own strength. The events of a failed relationship and the uncertainty of her future make her vulnerable at times. Caught between her past, present, and future, Keira finds it difficult to be sure of herself and her emotions. She is tortured by her own thoughts and dreams as she is pulled into the ever encroaching darkness by The Lost Children of Eden. Struggling to break free from the shadows that have wrapped their cold tendrils around her, Keira is forced to face the truth, that those around her aren't who they seem to be. The relationships she's formed between friends, family, and even would be enemies begin to shift, leaving Keira to wander alone on an uncertain path beneath the moonlight.

Full Name: Tristan Starr [Sad, wistful-French/ Star-English]
He is Keira's recent ex and even though the split was solely his own doing, not to mention a huge mistake, Tristan can't seem to let go of her so easily. He comes across as arrogant, hot headed, and cocky, but this is his way of trying to cover up the hurt he feels on a daily basis. Not only is he missing his relationship with Keira, but the fact that he and his parents have no relationship whatsoever doesn't help his situation. He has a tendency to act irrationally, often making things worse for himself. Tristan constantly beats himself up for his past mistakes and loses his confidence in his ability to fix things even though he still tries desperately to do so. It may not be apparent at first, but Tristan does have some redeeming qualities that begin to show as his and Keira's relationship shifts throughout the upcoming events that will undoubtedly affect their world.

Full Name: Freya Eikevik [Goddess of love-Norse/ Oak bay-Norwegian]
One of the Lost, she is the most difficult to read and comes off cold and unnerving towards all. She is the lone girl in the group with Avery and Donovan, and keeps everyone at arm's length. Freya has her own broken past, much like the others, but still comes to Avery and Donovan’s aid even when it will cost her something in some form or another. She is a more complex character than either of the two because you can't quite figure out the thoughts or motives behind her actions. Because Freya is terrified to follow in the footsteps of the cursed women in her bloodline, she is more determined than ever to take matters into her own hands and forget where she came from; making sure that her future is completely different from those who came before her.

The Lost Children of Eden

In folklore, it is said that one day God came to Eve while she had been washing her children, and out of shame she hid those who she had not yet cleaned from God. When God asked Eve if all of her children were present, she lied. So in turn God declared that "what man hides from God, God will hide from man", and with that, Eve's hidden children were cast out and in turn hidden from mankind. These seven became The Hidden Folk who inhabited the earth in the shadows, once human but now forever barred from the race of man. The Lost are to forever wander the earth craving to be as they once were, mortal and human. Their true nature is closely related to that of Scandinavian myths and folklore. These creatures are beautiful, alluring, and dangerous to those they encounter. They are seductive and addictive to their prey, often leaving despair in their wake. The females of this race have a chance to change their fate, but it comes at the price of their children. The males however are not so lucky. The Lost have the ability to shape-shift and use glamour when they wish to remain hidden from those of the earth. This glamour is also what helps the females ensnare and entice the senses. The truth is that not even with the help of glamour, can they feel the warmth of mankind. Even though it is thought that they are a cursed race with no chance of redemption, it seems the fates may be changing, but at what price and who must pay it?
