Redeem-eroo
First off, I will be speaking in the Oak Room of the public library in San Mateo, California, on May 5th at 7:00 pm. The library is at 55 West 3rd Avenue. If you are in the area, I would love to meet you!

Several of you weighed in.

Thanks for your comment, which I hope you'll post on the blog itself, where Poppie can read it.
I live in San Mateo and I was soooo excited to see that you're coming, but I won't be able to attend the event. :( I'm so disappointed. You were my favorite author growing up, and it would be so amazing to meet you and have you sign all of my books! Will you be doing anything else in San Mateo or the Bay Area any time soon? (Please say yes!)

Trauma for the characters can force them to see life a different way, thus causing them to realize how bad they really are, and want to change it. Say, the only person one character loved died from something they caused. And it could break through their trance of dark magic, if that was the case.
Another idea would be to have one accidentally find out that they are being controlled by dark magic, and find a way to escape.
