Merrick Thatchert endured hell that many find difficult to imagine. He fought to protect his country, his family and the people who were by his side, but it wasn't just being a foreign soldier on foreign soil that changed him. He watched his friends die before his eyes, he suffered indescribable pain, and at that very moment he lost his sight. Badly wounded, blind and angry, he was done with the war, but now he is fighting his own battle. Therefore, he waits for it to end, spending days and nights in pitch darkness, where no ray of light penetrates. This is how he exists until the very moment when Grace appears in his life, and his blinded eyes open to meet the woman who changed everything for him. This is a story about two broken souls who find love in the midst of suffering. A love that shines brightly even in the dark, that helps you understand that sometimes you have to break in order to find the light.
