Rowan's been running from a young age when her brother and father were killed by a man who only wants to use her. After having a close run-in with pack members of the ruthless man that's after her, Rowan's hectic runaway life turns even more hectic as she meets new people who turn out to only want the best for her, something she hasn't had in a long time.

With only four months until her 18th birthday, things begin to change. Rowan begins to change and memories start to seep into her mind, memories she'd forcibly pushed out. Through her hard journey to figure out what's happening to her, Rowan discovers that she doesn't need to be alone and that she doesn't have to.

Will Rowan open up to people who crave to be her friends? Will she belong somewhere and decide it's time to stop running? Is love something Rowan can bring herself to behold and be comfortable with, something she can trust herself with?
