Project Pantheon - Anthea (Paperback)

""Dard Filia Let them go, Kyros, I am the one you want, not them."" Anthea stepped forward, her eyes glued to Dard's face. He had a black eye and more than a few bruises, but it was clear he was otherwise unharmed. Kyros laughed, and with a single wave of his hand both Dard and Filia were flung to the ground. ""I kept them only as insurance because as you say I only want you."" In a world without heart, is it possible to keep true to your own? Anthea is a strong willed girl struggling to survive in a world torn apart by violence and apathy. There is no room for the weak and the unwilling in the grand scheme of things, and Anthea knows this. But despite this knowledge, she cannot reconcile what she knows of the world with her own actions. Faced with no other choice, she starts a gang of children that need love and attention in a world that has neither to spare. Even as she cherishes the light they bring to her world she is forced to realize her efforts may not be enough to make up for the darkness all around.
