Dangerous - Shannon Hale(1).pdf

The warehouse was coffin dark. I put out a hand, feeling
my way up the stairs.
I knew I wasn’t alone.
I strained to hear movement. A scuffed foot, the rustle of
clothing. The clink of ammunition. Anything.
There was nothing. Just the sound of my own labored
breathing.
If I had known all that would happen these past months,
would I still have entered that stupid sweepstakes?
No, I thought. Never.
But my hand pressed against the tokens in my chest, protective.
I climbed faster.
Our team was shattered. Two of us left. Only one would
walk away from this encounter. But I didn’t want to kill
again. And I didn’t want to die.
Maisie Danger Brown just wanted to get away from
home for a bit, see something new. She never intended
to fall in love. And she never imagined stumbling into a
frightening plot that kills her friends and just might kill
her, too. A plot that is already changing life on Earth as
we know it. There’s no going back. She is the only thing
standing between danger and annihilation.
