Just when you think you have to go it alone, sometimes you find help along the way. Sang Sorenson has been going it alone for the majority of life, when she escaped her abusive family with only the clothes on her back, she hunkered down, finding a job and with it came a close-knit community of people who protected her and looked out for her. A few new faces have been hired to keep the workers safe, but there's something much more sinister afoot and Sang finds herself smack-dab in the middle of it. *** Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction based on the works of C.L. Stone's Academy series. I do not own any of the characters, The Academy, or Charleston, nor am I making any money from this, it's purely an ode to the books I've enjoyed reading so much. ***
