You know the rest...heroes fought villain, heroes defeated villain, and everything went back to normal.Only . . . not so much.Now, it's ten years later, and Sloane Andrews, recovering Chosen One, has discovered that all the fame, gratitude, and parade floats in the world can't erase what she endured-what she had to do-to take down the Dark One. All she wants now is to be left alone, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.As it turns out, that plan for annihilation set in motion by the Dark One? It's not finished yet.
