Death may have been a better punishment.I'm Sharade Endrack, and I'm not only a prisoner in a Dark prison, but I'm a betrayer of the highest order.I sided with my outlaw father and lead an assassination attempt against the strangers our judges declared the rightful heirs of Adlumen. More so, I betrayed my sister, a woman I love, admire, and, more often than not, envy.For years I suffer the insults of my jailers, but mostly face their indifference. And gradually my smug confidence turns into cautious acceptance. My bravado into a longing for a home and family I'll never see again.But in the eighth year of my imprisonment, depleted hopes are once again stirred to life when I'm reluctantly rescued by a former enemy, now an ally of Adlumen-Raider Roil of the southern moles.His keen gaze says he doesn't trust me. My lies to keep him from guessing my identity indicate his mistrust is warranted. But it's quickly apparent we'll have to put aside our differences and work together to fight their way back to safety and prevent a looming war. And while I'm at it, maybe I'll find forgiveness and redemption too.All that's required is proving to everyone I've truly changed.
