Huang Yanyan stepped outside into the cool, early morning air, letting it wash over her as she leaned against the wall of the small house. Her heart was racing, her mind spinning with everything she had just learned. Yang Wei—her father? The king of Island B? It was too much to process, too overwhelming to grasp all at once. She needed a moment to breathe, to steady herself before going back inside and facing the reality of this new world that had just opened up before her.
For her whole life, she had wondered about her father. The man was always a mystery, an unanswered question in her heart, and now, in the span of a single night, that mystery had been solved. But the answer brought with it more complications than she had ever imagined. A father she never knew, a king with a secret life, and the knowledge that her past was tied to something much larger than she could have ever anticipated.
