The cold metal of the ship groans, a stark contrast to the heat churning inside me. Violet, seven-year-old daughter of Garmadon, wakes in the dark. Her wrists are bound, but her eyes burn with the dark flame of elemental destruction. Suddenly the ropes flare and crumble to ash. A girl hardened by the cruelty of the orphanage scans the room. No one nearby. Only the thrum of engines and the distant murmur of ninja voices. Then footsteps, approaching the door. Her heart hammers against her ribs. No exit in sight. Magic won't touch the iron lock. Violet goes still, breath held, as shadows fill the doorway.
