All the Colours Above

Beschreibung

All the Colours Above A tree. A dare. A wish that can't be unwished. Mirror. Mirror. Indigo pushed the button on the golden diamond studded compact, and it flipped open. Two mirrors. Two of Indigo. The one before the event. The one after. Which one is she? Before the event ... Indigo Feather Danube is a neuroscientist, studying the most complex object in the universe, mapping regions of the brain that store memories, and researching how to access them, digitally. She is involved in top secret bodiless living brain experimentation, at a high security research laboratory in the depths of a university in the town of Tarrin. The neuroscience team objective is to identify memories of violent trauma, PTSD, #metoo, and then to remove them, allowing victims to move forward with their lives in happiness. One day, at the request of her parents, Indigo attends a reunion at the park of her youth, where Tobiah Brooks dares her to climb the Jacaranda tree of her childhood. But first, she has to remember who he is. Under the luminous full moon they meet. Indigo's intention is to succeed at the dare, then leave. But his is to win her heart and so, the full moon becomes their sign for a secret rendezvous at the Jacaranda tree each month. And becomes rule number one. Under the full moon it was light enough to connect and see into their souls, their heart language, but dark enough to cloak their presence. No one could possibly know they were there once a month. Together. Alone. Every story has a beginning. And at the beginning of Indigo and Tobiah's story, is a girl who met a boy. A girl who wasn't in the habit of falling in love, until love's spell undid her, coaxing her heart to bloom like a thousand red roses, with a scent of citrus, spice, and sweet fruit, surrounded by a meandering, dreamy and exhilarating love melody ... until the event ... that day that can't be undone. On that day of the wish that can't be unwished ... What is a wish anyway? Does it have enchantment encrypted in the words? Is it released from your mind, carried with your breath and something captures it, good or evil, and does whatever it wants with your words, good or bad? Does a wish really have a magical quality that can make your dreams come true? Or is it just your heart's desire, fanciful thoughts filled with extravagant wants, a bliss-bomb of a dream that can never be achieved, or a wish for a result that you never put in the effort for. The unattainable: blown on the wind in silence, and destined to return to the earth, unfulfilled? After the event ... Indigo is running scared. There's a death. Did she cause it? And how can her best friend, Scarlett, who has a cochlear implant and uses sign language help her? Unbeknown to her, Tobiah is withholding information. He isn't who she thinks he is.
