I survived being thrown into the veil that should've killed me. I managed to live through the even more dangerous trip to the capital. Just when I thought I'd found somewhere I could belong, my whole world shifted. Again. Trouble has plagued my every step, and the biggest cause of it all? The man I'd foolishly given my heart to.
