After the passing of her mother, her life at home becomes nearly unbearable with her father becoming more and more overprotective over her, to the point of where he barely allows her to leave the house. Lonely and yearning for more in life, she decides to take part in her church's new volunteer program, which eventually leads her to the Caney Correctional Facility, where, at a soul-winning meeting for the prisoners, she meets twenty-two-year-old John Arrington. The two immediately form a bond, and following the visit, begin to write each other for six months. John, through his charm and likeability, is able to convince not only Mallory, but the court judges of his own innocence, as he is soon released from jail.

Freeborn's Quest: The Creator Trials

The legends say that when the Creator first breathed life into His Earth, His first creations were that of the pure and illustrious Freeborns, beings with infinite knowledge and powers beyond what any normal sorcerer could conjur. No other being in existence has ever wielded as much power as a Freeborn ever has, that is, until a dark young lord by the name of Delstrom desires to be the first one to do so. When a prophecy is foretold that he will be killed by a Freeborn of male birth, he grows fearful and soon orders the execution of all Freeborns. In order to save His perfect race, the Creator then made it so that any unborn Freeborns would be female, only allowing one male birth at the time he feels is right. And soon, that time comes to pass, when Prince Forstead of Ellon is born to his father, King Asaph, and his mother, a surviving Freeborn by the name of Rivatha. Growing up, Forstead is quite aware of his destiny but chooses to live a carefree, reckless life instead. When comes forth that he must not ignore the prophecy much longer, he leaves behind the life he knows in order to go through what is known as The Creator Trials before he can face Andard.
