Leaving me to contemplate the end of it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot far from where I sit, there is a caricature of bones on the ground. Someone's sick joke, or a homage to the end of life itself. Or perhaps a warning. And then, deeper in the cavern, I hear muffled moans. A faint squeal. A small girl--no, a thirteen year-old woman--emerges. She seems rude at first, but we are fast becoming friends. She is lovely. And special. And soon I learn why she is here, hiding from the privilege she was born into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAm I now to fulfill the prophecy my parents laid upon my head? Do I dare fall into that made-up story in service of a girl I just met? A girl I love right from the start?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe journey to Sanctuary cuts across the wilds of West Ginny and through more than a few places where chippers will be watching for whatever reward their masters have levied upon this girl's head. And then through the unnamed revolution that my brother and parents fight. I have longed for adventure, but hoped to nibble at its edges before sinking my teeth full in. But I have taken her under my charge and made her my sister. I have made a promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd promises must needs be kept\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49407201476912,"sku":"BDi5u8","price":7.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/i5u8-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773566405","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-i5u8","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
