![]() ![]() ![]() What I'm talking about are the books that you have read so many times, that diving back into their pages, feels like you are being welcomed back by family you haven't seen in a while. Even then, I think it would take a book like War and Peace, to find one big enough to make it work. I'm not talking about a physical home, because unless you are a Smurf, I'm not sure you could find one big enough to live in. There are certain books that feel like home. But to keep the Game a secret from those who would abuse it, the two young women must scatter the pieces throughout the world. Whoever reassembles the pieces can play a game of unlimited power.

With France aflame in revolution, the two girls burn to rebel against constricted convent life - and their means of escape is at hand.

Before heading off to a new assignment in Algeria, Cat has her palm read by a fortune-teller.
