Malia never wanted to play a part in this war between darkness and light, much less one so vital. But life has never gone according to her wishes, and it doesn’t start now. Stuck at the Dark Fraction’s camp with no rescue in sight, she finds her own way out of that cell, one that leaves no room for the sweet girl she thought she was.
