15 year old Anastasia Adams has spent her entire life on run. She and her mother have never spent more than 18 months in any one location, often times leaving with just the clothes on their backs. Despite the havoc that this is wreaking on Ana's social and academic life, her mother offers no explanation as to why it is they're constantly moving, or even what it is they're running from. But that all changes one night in the woods of Pelion, SC--the night the terror catches up with them. Fearing her mother dead, and having barely escaped with her own life, Ana is whisked away to world of privilege and tradition. It's a fairytale come to life. The poor girl used to living out of a suitcase is now a resident of one of the most exclusive addresses in the world. The people there adore her and she catches the eye of a young guardian who sees her as a refreshing change to the girls he's grown up with. If only they could find her mother. If only she knew the consequences of being born a "conjurer." If only she knew who that green eyed stranger was, the stranger who'll tell her about a past too romantic, and too tragic to be real. In the end, she'll have to choose between the boy who has captured her heart and the stranger she can feel down in her soul, assuring at least one of them an almost certain death.

Some stories don't end when people walk away. They wait. Set against missed chances, quiet sacrifices, and the weight of things left unsaid, this story follows two people whose paths cross again after time has done what it does best. Change everything except what truly mattered. What begins as distance slowly turns into familiarity, and familiarity into questions neither of them planned to ask. Told through moments both ordinary and charged, this is a story about timing, restraint, and the kind of love that lingers long after it's been buried. About choosing silence and learning what it costs. About finding your way back when the past refuses to stay quiet. Sometimes, the hardest part isn't letting go. It's deciding whether to reach back.
