Secrets of the Underdark - Paperback

by J. D. Crist (Author)

Bridgett Coal survived the Pit because she had nothing left to lose. Raised by President Blaylin and then cast down into the lowest tunnels, she learned to survive on grit, stolen moonshine, and the small comfort of forbidden books. When a brutal rescue in the red-lit tunnels leaves her alive but indebted to a mysterious Captain with a pickaxe and a past, Bridgett's life tilts toward a truth she never expected: the enemies above and the friends below are closer than she dared imagine.

Torn between vengeance and mercy, choice and destiny, Bridgett must strike at the heart of a system that trades lives for legacy - before the tyrant breeds the heir that will make his rule permanent.
