FRIENDS COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES - AND SOME HAVE NONE AT ALLPlagued by her family and school bullies, Cassie Reilly's only place of solace was the garden shed. Hiding away from the world, she could pretend all was well until her stepfather's violence spilled out of the house and threatened to destroy everything she held dear. Unwilling to remain in the shadows and watch an innocent girl beaten, the silent occupant at the bottom of the garden arose. In that moment, Cassie had two choices: be afraid of the unknown or befriend them. With friendships scarce, she gladly accepted what was offered, little realising how that choice would save her during some truly dark times...

Struck by the brief connection, Angel's tranquillity is overturned, causing her to seek those in peril as she searches for meaning in existing between life and death.

Discovering they both hold secrets, Maia questions if she can keep silent, even if revealing the truth threatens to irrevocably challenge the foundations of her existence.
