Her heart freezes at the image; her breath hangs in her throat, burning. The polished, gold surface of her pocket mirror flits through her mind. It's close. Just through the door to her office and nestled among papers in the top drawer of her desk.

I want to share character art when it’s relevant to the current free release chapter, so there will be art of Avery on my next update. For now here is the book cover.
