Pandora’s Box

**HOPE REMAINS** All Pandemina Dorothy Avery ever wanted was to be beautifully, blessedly normal, with a stable career and a love life leading to a white picket fence and a happily-ever-after. That seems impossible now.

But as Riordan’s very existence proves, things are not always what they seem, and what stepped out of that box might be the key to her dreams.
