[vincible: a. capable of being overcome or subdued; conquered.] Episode Four: Anna Every story contains faces on the fringes. Those on the outside looking in. Observers who seem to have no power or influence. They're just along for the ride. Or are they? They're people like Anna. She lost the gift of her sight at age ten, when her life took a turn for the worse, in the direction of her wicked foster mom, Miss Ivy. That was four years ago. Still, it was all pretty much bearable because of her sisters, Greye, Nika, and Sydney. But now all three of them are gone. So what about Anna? She knows Greye would dig into the headlines and make the necessary deductions. Nika would take the lead and get them moving in a direction by hook or by crook. And Sydney would add that all-important fifth element by encouraging and supporting every one of them. But what can Anna do? She's just a girl, at the mercy of her antagonists because of her blindness. It is a crippling liability. Or is it? Anna's world is about to change forever. When there are no heroes left, those to whom the sword falls become the most unlikely candidates in the war for all that is good. Will Anna be more than what she's ever known? Will she be... invincible?
