Lera has access to many things—other worlds, people’s feelings and thoughts—but that doesn’t make her happier. She cherishes distance and keeps to boundaries. She didn’t want to interfere in someone else’s life, and in someone else’s deaths either. Alas, when a hunt has been declared for you, there’s simply no choice. Sometimes help comes from those you expect least. Some don’t believe in chances, others in apologies. Some don’t know the price, and others don’t know their own possibilities. But some encounters change everything.
