"To build a mountain, you must first fill rivers,"
Delilah Ashton. A name not known to many, but for those who do know it, they don't know much about the girl whom it belongs to.
Missing from her home at the mere age of three, Delilah has gotten used to solitude. She's important, but no one knows why. Many have tried to see her greater importance to Eitherdal, how she is the fabled 'chosen one'. But none can. She's kept away from the public in fear of harm. Charming life, right?
Now 17, Del wants to discover the world on her own, see places, meet people, do things. Hashi said no, like always, "Its too dangerous out there for you," he said, "I'm just trying to keep you safe." Yep, that's what he always says. Del never knew why she couldn't explore like all the other children, go to school, ride a bike, or for that matter, even leave her floor of the house they shared. It gets boring after a while. It gets lonely, yeah there's Hashi, but he's old and a guy. All Del really wants to do is leave and go on an adventure, see the world like, others do. When a mysterious man visits and devises a plan to help her escape she discovers things about herself that she never knew. And this is only the beginning of a new life for little Miss Delilah Ashton.
