    About this ebook

    In a world where a sliver of light meant life, and if that light faded it meant death she knew that if she ever took a step outside her door, she would die. If it would be at the hands of ... him... or the jaws of the hounds, she did not know.

    "Stay in the light. Stay alive. Don't get caught. Getting caught means death." These words echoed in her mind as she cried in her prison, after getting caught. It felt like days as the hours passed. Cold and sleep deprived, as the creatures staring at her, waiting for her to fall asleep, or her candle to burn out so they may claim her blood for their own. Suddenly her door unlocked...

    Follow the last known moments of Perry, as she ventures through the ever changing halls of the Kaleidoscope, searching for her escape in the shadows and dimly lit corridors as the Keeper of death and torture lifts the veil between reality and what lies in the darkness that humans so fear.

    She could not resist the Vorgoths. Can you?
