Choose

Each of us lives two lives simultaneously: the one we put on when we are born into this passing existence of flesh and bone, and the one that is eternally ours. Occasionally our current incarnation might nod in acknowledgment of who we once were, as if to a casual acquaintance we brush by on our way to another appointment. As long as those contacts remain but the whisper of a memory, a dream we wake up from each morning, our two selves manage to coexist in a single body. But when our two selves collide, when our lives overlap intimately and we can no longer coexist as two separate selves, then a choice is forced upon us. We must ether integrate the two or go mad, at least in the eyes of this illusory world.In Choose, Mary Kate and Con's stories continue...Avignon haunts them both. It was on Avignon Con fell beneath their enemy's deadly assault. Mary Kate and their infant son were lost. The last Daughter of Avignon was no more. But now her former world is no longer content to wait patiently for the return of its lost queen. Their voices call to her, too many to number, their pleas always the same. "Princess, why have you abandoned us? When will you return and lift the stain of our guilt?" She needs to remember. She has to go back. The last Daughter of Avignon was going home.
