" Stubborn, stubborn Auralia," He mutters frowning," You always have to fight."

Auralia opens her eyes and takes it upon herself to find her. With the help of the new friends, she reveals secrets about her own family. But finding the truth behind her brother's and Shay's disappearance and her parent's death isn't as easy as Auralia naively thought, for what she seeks to find is hidden in a box of lies, death, and blood. And the one gang at the center of it all. [Status: completed and fully edited]
