Prologue
The night sky shone through the dark, flowing curtains of the room. For a moment, perhaps a second, blinding light streaked the sky, followed by the loud rumble of thunder that marked the path of the coming storm. Thick, dark clouds filled the sky, blotting out the stars that were as familiar to her as an old, well-known song.
Silence filled the unlit room. It was what anyone would have expected.
She sat on the floor beside the sofa, huddled inside a thick blanket. Her eyes were narrowed, her breaths carefully shallow. Her hands clutched the fabric of her temporary guard from the unforgiving cold.
Neatly tucked under her threadbare traveling pants was a small knife strapped with leather chords, but she could not make herself get it out of its concealment. Only if the situation was desperate would she use it. She knew how to handle it, though. She was no weakling.
But right now she had to look like she was. There wasn't anything she could do but hide until everything passed. Until the Shades disappeared again.
She scowled down at her boots peeking from the frayed edges of her blanket. The Shades were going to pay for what they had done.
Of that she was sure.
