Summary
Everyone in Port Sterling envied me—the crippled girl Hank Devereaux, the city’s most powerful man, had cherished for ten years.
What they didn’t know: at sixteen, when enemies shattered my legs bone by bone, I never revealed Hank’s location.
A year later, Hank slaughtered that family. Amid the bloodshed, he covered my eyes and swore to protect me forever.
Doctors said I’d never walk. So Hank broke his own legs to learn to walk again with me, step by painful step.
He knelt in a chapel for three years to persuade a family of healers to treat me.
Years passed. I stayed in my wheelchair.
