Anna's Book ( Prologue to A Dangerous Destiny)

A companion piece to A Dangerous Destiny:

Life in the poorest district of the Captial city is difficult for all but even worse for those with no prospects of escape. With limited funds, Anna and her grandmother must make do with what little they have and settle for a life of hardship, struggling just to make ends meet. Challenges have never phased Anna though and she is grateful for what she has; the love of her Grandmother, a roof over her head, and the safety that comes with living in the most powerful city in the Empire. But there are secrets in Grandmother's past from the days when she lived in the countryside. Secrets involving the book that lies hidden under the floorboards by the fireplace. Secrets that might just prove to be more dangerous than Anna ever imagined.
