Out of desperation, Hilda continued, "I know so much-so much! Just help me get out of here, and I'll tell you everything. Aveline, all those beautiful things, that life-it was supposed to be yours! Someone else has taken your place!" Aveline felt her mind whirl, her gaze shifting to Zachary.

Someone had taken her identity?

"It seems you really can't hand her over," Zachary said. "It's not that you can't find your biological parents-someone has stolen them from you, Aveline. You need to find out the truth."
