Krista has completed her shorthand and typing course. She now has more opportunities available to her - or has she? With the constant threat of war in Europe shaking the nation, she is unsure of her future.

Too many people in the shadows appear to be paying attention to what she does. She can feel eyes upon her but has no idea whose. Is she under threat? Could it be the Grey Man? He has wanted to use her in the past - is he still of the same mind? Or are there others who wish to use her? What should she do?

Someone wants her cast adrift from the safe refuge she has found. They are willing and powerful enough to force the issue. Who and why? Krista must once again step out into the unknown.
