Annal'Y'Amin is four hundred years old. He is the crown prince of Lucidan, the regent planet of the Morphis system on the furthest arm of the Andromeda Galaxy. He is the prophesied savior of the Universes' oldest religion. And he is trapped in the body of teenage, human boy Neil Black. But, when traces of the soul that he replaced upon taking Neil's body begin to resurface, Annal is faced with the most unpredicatable of foes, his own feelings.

Hannah Jane Stone is seventeen years old. She doesn't play an instrument. She isn't into sports. Her parents aren't home long enough to scold her for not making her bed.

But when a long-time acquaintance whom she knows nothing about offers to walker her home from school, Hannah discovers that sometimes we want to be understood more than loved.
