Description

Lydia was only a baby when she lost her mother and brother, and so she never knew the violence that tore them from her. She grew up believing they were killed in a car crash, and for a time that answer was enough -- but not for long. There was turmoil in the family. Her remaining brother, Elyan, was traumatised and jumpy; babbling about conspiracies and stolen people. The only stability Lydia had was her father and when he was so wrapped up in taking care of Ely, she was left to her own thoughts.

Elyan was prodigal, the eldest and smartest in the family -- and now he was getting the attention and love Lydia desperately needed herself. As her teenage years came around, she fell into despair and hopelessness, directionless and confused by the family's seemingly constant turmoil and tension.

As the end of high school loomed, Lydia was alcoholic and suicidal. When her father found her bleeding out on the bathroom floor, she learned the truth of her lost family.

Finding out the truth about her mother's death and Josh's disappearence gave Lydia a new fire for life, and as she recovered from her injuries she was approached by a figure. That figure offered her a chance to start over; to earn enough money to travel and find her brother. She took it, and became a mercenary, travelling from job to job searching for clues for her lost brother.

Over time, Elyan discovered what his sister was doing. Knowing she was actively searching for Josh he went with her; leaving home and following Lydia across the globe in search of some kind of lead as to where Josh might have been taken.

Lydia Rachel Moore is a character in The Truth Saga , a series of contemporary fantasy novels beginning with Reckless Truth, available now
