Mr. Reynolds had already given her a file containing everything she needed to know about the family, and she had spent all of last night reviewing it and conducting her own research.

My mind raced with possibilities. The Blackwood Forest was a treacherous maze of ancient trees and dense undergrowth, a place where even the bravest of souls tread cautiously.

Demanding she submit.
