(The Forgotten Passages Book Two) After almost nineteen years, I was used to life - used to the parties, galas, and benefits, used to keeping secrets, and used to the dangers my life with the Brotherhood of Time brought me. It's been two months - two months since Drake Garner came back into my life after four years of silence, two months since he trusted me with the secrets he kept, two months since we started our own adventure his great-grandparents had gone on before us...but only two weeks since that adventure came to a halt when one of my best friends was dumped at our doorstep, broken, unconscious, and bleeding. It wasn't just Drake's reappearance that changed everything. Vince Peters was set on getting his hands on me, but there was no way it was happening. Not only could I protect myself, but I had the strength of the Brotherhood and the Knights behind me. He thought he could break me by hurting those I love, but he didn't know what was coming for him. Because I was and there was no stopping me. But some secrets are meant to stay hidden...even when you become one yourself.

As someone who's been so pampered to the point of oblivion, I never noticed the similarities with the fairy-tale. Every little girl should see her father as a king and her home is her kingdom. Almost every girl wants to be a princess or is treated as one. Some approach that more than others. I was one of those who are really close to be one. With a father that was like a king, soon came a stepmother hungry for power and money. Of course, I only realised that when Dad wasn't in the picture anymore. It wasn't jealousy because I was prettier than her, or that I think, what pushed her to hate me and to try to get rid of me; it was that as soon as I was twenty-one I would end up inheriting all of my father's business. Not her. So I had to disappear for her to be the only queen. Just like in the fairy tale, someone was hired to get rid of me. Did your parents read the tale to you? They didn't to me, so maybe that's why I didn't notice how much I resemble that princess. So that's me: Blanca, like Snow... Snow White.
