(The Forgotten Passages Series Book Three) After twenty years, I was used to life - used to playing a part, used to knowing my life was in danger with every step I took, used to the fact that I had people out to kill me...and Vince Peters thought he did. It's been a year - a year since the Order attacked us in the tunnels under the ruins of Seward House, a year since I'd been on the edge of dying, a year since I somehow found it in myself pull myself from what would have been my watery grave and get to Scotland and the one family I knew would help me and keep my secrets. To everyone I loved, I was missing and more than likely dead...that is, until the one girl who disappeared herself showed up. When Vince Peters thinks you're dead, it's easy to travel around the world undetected. Now, after months of being hidden away and taking on a new identity, Kenna and Cruz convinced me to begin the search for the third and final key. This time, however, it was in the clutches of the one man who took everything and almost everyone away from me. Somehow, we would get it back and find whatever the three keys opened. And expose every secret Vince Peters kept, tearing down his world around him.
