13A: Beyond the Black Door

Everyone has a soul, shaped into beautiful gardens or frightening dungeons, and Soulwalkers, like Kamai and her mother, can travel into people’s souls as they sleep. However, in every soul Kamai travels to, she sees the same black door. Kamai is told to never open that door, but when tragedy strikes, she does just that.
