But when she joined other refugees their determination to survive was greater than anything any of them had encountered before.
In the frantic scramble over the wall, Danika fired a flare to distract the guards – the consequences of this action were long reaching and meant that she was suddenly a fugitive. Escape over the city’s walls would mean either death or freedom a tentative freedom at best, but the lure of the Magnetic Valley was enough to spur her on. When she was rejected by the crew of refugees in hiding, she decided to attempt a daring escape. It was the only place to be safe from the bombs and the after effects of fire – but there were other refugees sheltering there as well. After all, it was on the king’s orders that her family had been killed why would she help him to kill others? On the night the bombs struck again, Danika fled to the sewers. She knew she had to join the king’s army when she turned eighteen – everyone did – but she was determined not to. Danika Glynn was sixteen alone after her parents and sibling had been killed in the last round of alchemy bombs the king had launched, she struggled for survival.
