A cute little romance on a beach in Australia ☼ 18-year-old Indy has finally returned to her mother's pretty little beachfront cottage, where she used to spend every summer.

Indy is determined not to let heartbreak drown her, because when you get wiped out, you've just got to get back on the board.

Step One: Break out of Engleton's Juvenile Correction Facility. Step Two: Freedom. That was the plan, anyways. What really happened instead of step two? Let's see: a kidnapping, enslavement, some animal-human hybrid science-fiction crap . . . That just about sums it. High school sweetheart Desna Kinsley is put to the ultimate test, forced to make decisions that could mean life or death for not only herself and her newfound friends, but for the whole world. After all, not everything is as it seems. **Trigger Warning** This story does contain a lot of swearing, violence, graphic descriptions, death, and various forms of trauma. Be forewarned.
