The Passage of Zoe Fuller

Two contenders for one prize.
One can't make up his mind.
Doesn't know what he wants. He's broken Zoe's heart. He can't be trusted.

The other is obsessed. He's tried to kill her. He'll try again if he finds her.

Both know there's a child . . . . The father's identity is still in question.
The dream is back . . . it's maddening. Her haven, the only safe place from torment, lies at the bottom of the staircase . . . somewhere behind the wall. It still eludes her. If only she could gain passage!

So Zoe keeps moving. She hides. Nothing eases her fears or makes the nightmares cease for long. She drinks to keep them at bay.

Will Zoe ever find refuge? Will the tug-of-war over her ever end?
