Book blurb:
Ashlyn works for a Paranormal Investigation Agency. One day, she and her partner, Percy, discover a mind-reading alien hidden inside a very restricted part of the building.
...
"Ignorance is safety," Percy reminded me.
I perked up, before I let a long sigh escape me. "Control feeds on ignorance, Percy," I reminded him in a hushed voice that only I could hear.
You shouldn't burn the book before you obtain its knowledge, I thought to myself. Throughout history, too many have been forced to follow leaders without questioning why these self-proclaimed kings wear the crown. You shouldn't obey sightlessly just to follow the masses. I, for one, refuse to conform and join the human sheep. I'll be the one to chain myself to the tree and riot in the streets hoping for change. I'll fight for what I think is right. And if I am hunted down like some graceful deer wandering the clearing as twilight breaks? So be it.
Tomorrow, I'm going to sneak into that vault and free that Alien, because it's the right thing to do according to my heart. And I'm not going to let anyone stop me.
Screw ignorance. It was never meant for me.
