Wishing for a family? An impossible love? Only one is for certain, you cannot lie to the Maker of Tears.
At the age of seventeen, the moment has come for Nica to leave Grave, an orphanage in which she has grown up, put all these dark childhood stories of the Maker of Tears behind her and start a new chapter with her new family . . .
But Nica is not alone in her new home. Rigel, a restless, mysterious orphan, is also taken out of Grave, and he's the last person Nica would wish for as an adoptive brother.
Rigel is intelligent, astute and mesmerisingly handsome, but his angelic appearance conceals a dark temperament.
But when the legend comes back to haunt their lives, the Maker of Tears draws nearer.
Gentle and brave, Nica is ready to do anything in order to protect her new life . . .
