Taylor Summers sees killers threaten a young boy. She throws herself into danger to create a distraction, giving the child a chance to escape. Her heroic act destroys everything she once had. Her career vanishes. Her reputation crumbles. Her identity dissolves. She flees into the wilderness, fighting through a brutal winter with little food or shelter. The cold nearly kills her, but the knowledge of what she has lost cuts deeper. Taylor eventually reaches Virtue Falls, where she hopes to find safety. Instead, she discovers an uncomfortable truth. To reclaim any piece of her former life, she must ask for help from a man who views her with suspicion. Together, they need to bring down the person determined to eliminate her completely. The hunters have become the hunted, and Taylor refuses to run anymore.
