We are burning in a fire which we have started ourselves

How much is Victoria Clark, an ordinary 17-year-old from a small town in California, willing to sacrifice for an inappropriate relationship with dark Nathaniel Shay? Even she herself does not know that, although during conversations with her friends who warn her about her boyfriend, she defends him for unjustified reasons, getting more and more entangled in the web of lies. It’s of no importance that the girl’s mother sees nothing but evil in Nathaniel and is ready to do anything to eradicate from her daughter that wicked seed that the twenty-year-old has sown in her.

Victoria knows that there will come a moment in her life when she will have to make a decision – choose between what she wants and what would be most appropriate for her. However, she does not expect it to be that difficult. Because even though she may be deceiving herself, this handsome cold-eyed boy was pure destruction. Delightful destruction, full of lies, darkness and heat, drawing her to the bottom of hell. But does Victoria have the strength to get out of it?

“The story of Victoria and Nathaniel is quite complex, precise – and that's what I love about it. As I started writing, I noticed that I prefer to focus on the characters from the psychological point of view rather than a dynamic storyline loaded with events. To inject soul into them and sometimes make the reader forget that they are fictional characters. My little dream was for my characters to be multidimensional and it seems to me that I managed to do it”, said Katarzyna Barlińska in an interview for one of the literary websites.
