They had gained control of the place her ancestors had once called home and were now hoping to gain the upper hand on each other by gaining control of the one thing that would make them invincible. Her. Thought to have immeasurable potential, some seek the power that runs through her veins, while others wish to extricate it for their own advantage. Now, faced with reality, she must travel towards the very people she had been running away from her whole life. A child who should have never been born, now holds the key to everyone's survival.
