Perhaps because she had seen Nora Lowell during the day, Paige Summers's mind was a mess when she tried to meditate that night.
She gave up and flopped onto her bed, preparing to get a solid night's sleep.
But she ended up having a nightmare instead.
In the dream, she floated in the air, watching the plot of that apocalypse novel unfold scene by scene, as if it were real.
This time, it was no longer based on her imagination; the faces of the characters appeared one by one.
She watched as "she"—her other self—was meticulously protected by her family, completely ignorant of the ways of the world. After her last relative, her father, passed away, she was left with no survival skills and was nearly dragged away by Superpower Users right off the street.
Then, she was rescued by Shawn Monroe.
This was the turning point in her life.
After entering The Citadel, she grew increasingly infatuated with her handsome and powerful savior, Shawn Monroe.
