Would you save your world if it means sacrificing your love-and shattering your sanity?

My reality isn't reliable. My world isn't my own. The sensations zinging through my body and visions flashing through my mind-they are everyone's emotions everywhere. Even everywhen. And I'm drowning in the onslaught.

In my mosaic of madness, I cling to snatches of green eyes wrapped in a velvet voice and soothing masculine scent. Until a desperate, far-fetched bid to salvage my sanity leads me into the Courts of the sensual, nature-connected Sung-and staring into those same smaragdine eyes.

The Sung keep Earth in balance by dancing in the Dark Song, the fabric of life. Here, among the energy-weaving witches and their fiercely devoted protectors, in the Heart Courts of the Queens, I have a destined place. I find hope. And I come home to a love long lost and half-remembered.

But the world is drowning, too; unravelling under the pressure of a humanity that has lost its way. And when the scales tip into disaster, I find myself on the edge of a cliff. If I leap, I may be able to save us. But when I leap, I will feel everything, until everything is all there is-and there is nothing of me left.

Will I be able to remember our love if I can't even remember myself? For the Song is life... but can our love survive its depths?
