Electricity hums through the air as I move from plant to plant, pruning, plucking, and watering. Outside the frosty windows, the Neutral Zone is every shade of silver in the unforgiving cold.  \nSomeone passes bundled against the frigid, windy air. Their red hat disappears into a rush of snow being swept by the wind down the street.  \nI shiver despite the slight warmth in the air.  \nI’ve been cold for weeks. Cold, hungry, and stressed beyond belief.  \nThe baby swaddled in a sling across my chest wriggles before falling back asleep, his cheek pressed against my breast.  \nI move to the utility sink in the storage room and wrench on the pump, but the water doesn’t start. The pipes are frozen solid.  \n“Shit,” I whisper, closing my eyes and trying to swallow past the lump in my throat.  \nMr. Foxglove, my landlord, was supposed to be here this morning to fix the heat to the building. My one room apartment upstairs has been freezing cold since Tuesday last week, the day after my son was born. I’ve resorted to turning the oven on and letting it run empty to heat the space. Empty, because I have no money for food. Every single cent I have to my name is  \ngoing toward my rent, which has doubled every month since the snow started to fall.  \n“I’m sorry,” I croak, tearfully, to my thirty, wilting plants. No water for them today again. My precious blooms of begonia and lily tremble in answer. My orchids are fried. I can’t bring those back from the dead, even if the water returns.  \nIt wasn’t supposed to be like this. A year ago, I rented this space and the apartment upstairs. I painted the walls and the exterior door my favorite color–pink. The most magnetic fuchsia the world has ever seen.  \nI got a contract to provide the florals for some of the balls at the summer mating festival. People came in droves to buy bouquets for their newly found mates in the weeks that followed.  \nBut then the rebel threat brought Crescent Falls into war.  \nPeople stopped buying flowers.  \nThe royal family stopped throwing balls and parties, as did the Alphas of the dozen or so packs that surrounded the city.  \nAnd Mr. Fo","cbCaindJxDxjy1ta","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaindJxDxjy1ta","pdf",1870719,8,342,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Book Nine -
