Charlotte is a criminal-in-training who yearns to crack her mentor’s guarded façade, but is unprepared to confront the depths of his dark past. As her sense of right and wrong blurs, Charlotte discovers just how far she will go for the Cloaked Shadow and the sacrifices he requires.
Now hunted throughout the land, Fawkes must face long-buried secrets in order to survive, but they could destroy him. Charlotte risks everything, including her heart, to set Fawkes on the path to redemption.
Will Charlotte have the strength to pull Fawkes into the light, or will she follow him into the shadows?
“Please, whatever you are,” Henry begged, “don't hurt us. Please.”
There was no answer, but Charlotte heard the rustle of fabric and a felt a light breeze on her skin as the shadow whisked by her. She whirled around to face the cell across from Henry's. Through the haze of her torchlight circle, Charlotte watched as the shadow knelt down, freeing a hand holding a key from the depths of a long, black cloak. With the telltale rasp of iron on iron, the door to the other cell creaked open.
The stranger crept soundlessly inside, returning seconds later with a body slung over its shoulders. The body emitted a low groan, and the shadow lowered its burden to lean against the wall. With unexpected care, the shadow crouched over the emaciated prisoner and murmured softly to him.
Seeing this spark of humanity gave Charlotte the courage she needed. “Help us.” It was a statement, not a question.
The cloaked figure remained kneeling next to its charge, and a man's voice finally spoke in a low rumble. “But you have nothing to offer me.”
Charlotte hesitated at his unexpected statement, trying to decipher its meaning. “Free my brother, and you can have anything you want.”
This is my absolute favorite movie, but the best scene has to be when Buttercup pushes Westley down the hill and he yells out, “As you wish!” Iconic.

Up
The opening scene is masterful storytelling. So many emotions without any dialogue. It makes me cry every time I watch it. Fun fact: I walked down the aisle to this song, as my husband and I promised to start our greatest adventure with each other on our wedding day.

The choreography. The music. The lift. “Nobody puts Baby in the corner.” Could there be a more perfect ending to a movie?

Confession: I had a massive crush on Heath Ledger growing up. When he serenades Kat with his infectious grin and the entire marching band…swoon.
