In the sixth grade, Candace decided she wouldn't have any other friends besides Mike because he was the best friend anyone could ever have. Later on through her life, she took that statement seriously because she wouldn't let anyone come close to her. She always told herself she didn't need anyone else. Mike was the perfect one. When Candace was fourteen, she started to see that her dad wasn't really around anymore. He was always missing parties or holidays; coming home late and having an excuse. In the beginning, Candace believed her dad when he said it was work that was keeping him. One day when she was fifteen, her father came home in a different car, a women driving.

Aden fell in love with Canadce quickly, bonding with her. Aden found out shortly that Candace possessed the book that had been in legends all over Europe for over a century.
