However, she finds herself in the lion's den when a tragedy causes her to reveal secrets she herself didn't know she kept. Cara ends up in a place that forces her to relive some of her most traumatizing memories. With each passing day, she is given more than one reason to sleep with one eye open. As Cara spends more time surrounded by her enemies, she unearths shocking information about everything she knows, and everything she is. ~ 1st Place Unknown Author in The Blue Rose Awards August 2018 ~ ~ Fantasy Judge's Pick in The Magic Awards 2018 ~ ~ 2nd Place Fantasy in Net Monthly Awards September 2018 ~ ~ Best Plot Fantasy in Net Monthly Awards September 2018 ~ #BurningAwards #BurningPassionAwards
