When Griffin decided to align with the death stone, rather than throwing it in the World Forge at the center of the warzone, Annette is left alone as she struggles to find a way forward. The royals of the realm are as likely to see her hanged as to help her, and when the war arrives on the realm's doorstep, the battle is quite one-sided in the undead's favor. The only hope that Annette finds is in the life stone and a promise of a possible future in the east.
Cassandra Morphy is a Business Data Analyst, working with numbers by day, but words by night.
