A Short Story in the Network Series

Written and Narrated by Katie Cross

“You are a mighty little thing, Hazel.”

Hazel Monroe knows one thing: she wants to be a gardener. 

Fingers in the soil, canopy overhead. That’s all she needs. Except the High Priestess Evelyn’s dark reign threatens to destroy even that simple desire. 

If she can just get through the Network school system. 

If she can just live out the Resistance that threatens to overthrow their insane leader. 

If she can just . . . survive. 

When the final battle at Chatham Castle begins, Hazel finds herself unexpectedly in the middle of an entirely different war. One between the vile Miss Mabel and her nefarious grandmother, May. 

One that threatens to change the course of her quiet life beneath the trees that she so deeply longs for. 

Until Hazel is discovered, and May’s wrath unfurls.
