Chains and shackles do not impede his freedom; Elliot Craig is.

Blamed for the death of his mother, Oliver is a 16-year-old who has been deprived of his freedom since his birth, receiving cruel punishments that bring him to the brink of despair. When the opportunity to escape to the Golden Star, the city of space, and new opportunities appear, Oliver will meet the world that his mother spoke to him so much about, discovering that life is much more than a fairy tale.

Every step they took made her doubt if it was the right thing to do. Oliver could not blindly trust that some strangers would help him; it had taken three weeks for the brown-haired to trust her fully.

Chrystal was surprised by how he ignored her question; something wasn't right, which made her uneasy. Maybe Oliver was better at controlling his emotions, knowing that a maniac was chasing him, but Chrystal wasn't. She had never felt so suspicious of her surroundings. She felt like they were being watched when Oliver came clean with her. 


Pursing her lips, she decided to trust Oliver's family, if it could be called that. 


"Is something wrong? You've been tense all the way."
