Riven seems to be a normal, ordinary girl. She may be a little more quiet than the average person, and may be more interested in books than dresses and makeup, but she doesn't seem to have any problems.

People came and went-some looking for trouble, others caught in things they shouldn't have been.

And yet, every time their eyes met, something shifted, an unsettling pull that she couldn't quite explain. She didn't know what it meant, or why it unsettled her so much. But one thing was certain: the longer she stayed here, the more complicated everything would become...
