Soren, a Borrower, has had quite the life. He grew up by candlelight and the dim light from the walls, scraps from the kitchens and whatever else he could "borrow." But he wasn't always the skilled Borrower he is now. He had his beginning and his first mission. This story is about his first solo mission in a brief excerpt. This is how Soren's turning point and his overcoming fear forever changed his life.
