Fated to be murdered from birth a pretty girl must try to make life. All the while people close to her violently pass. Reverse 4th wall breaking thriller. It's an indictment that it'd never get published in the mainstream but it should Yardley deserves a wider audience. A dark and original fairy tale full of fourth wall breaking explores the intricacies of destiny, death, beauty, personal relationships, and everyday life.
