- PREFACE**
What is it you want?
Someone out there knows, but it wasn't her.
Guilt mixed with adrenaline surged through her body as she imagined all the pain she'd gone through from having information withheld.
Secrets could only last so long before they weren't a surprise anymore.
But was it any better if they were told to her right as she was about to figure them out?
No.
Some part of her knew that as she imagined shattering ice in a frozen cavern and colorful lights being reflected onto her draping window obscurers.
She was close.
So close.
And too deep in?
But that distance she still had to cover made it seem much more distant.
And it made her wonder...
What else was out there?
What else would she and her friends have to face?
And worse: who would she have to lose in the process?
But she'd forgotten one question.
The most important of all.
