After committing the worst mistake of her life in an incident that caused the death of one very close to her, Liliana left the organization she had been part of for years--her home. She vowed never to return, thinking the organization of magically powered people was a better place without her. But now, she finds she can no longer run away from her past. She must come to terms with not only what she has done, but with the people she left behind. People who have been waiting for her. To make things harder, it just happens that the Shadows of the city have been growing stronger and more numerous. Liliana was once one of the strongest fighting Orphans, a blazing example. But two years have passed--can she still fight and save lives? Even when she caused a death? Will she even rejoin the Orphans, or keep hiding from her past?
