Vallerie Sabell-a Wiccan in her late teens-swore an oath to do no harm. Having a deep well of empathy for the world around her, this seemed to her a vow easily upheld. That is, until experiencing a major tragedy at her high school graduation. In its aftermath, she finds herself struggling day by day to maintain her beliefs, often being consumed by a whirlwind of dark thoughts. Born of both the disheartening events seen in the news and a lack of control over events in her daily life, alongside the well of love brews one of anger, one that she fears will one day erupt. Now, as an apocalyptic event causes society to fall and the dead to rise, Vallerie's code will soon be tested to the absolute breaking point as she learns to navigate a new world that knows no such boundaries. Though, as she will soon find, it may also hold a silver lining in lacking the limitations set by the world before; limitations that, to her mind, seemed to often do more harm than good. Will Vallerie be able to survive the storm? And if so, will she be able to find balance enough to forge a better life, both for herself and for those she holds most dear?
