It's been ten long years since Ruth Radley stepped foot in Birchfield. Ten years since her mother took her and ran as far and as fast as she could. Now, eighteen and free, it's time for Ruth to finally return. 

Yet, Birchfield is not quite how she remembers, and Gram seems to know more than she's letting on. Even when the town starts to whisper and ever stranger things keep appearing at her edge of the woods, Ruth pushes away the old stories her mother used to tell.

But as the nights grow darker and the world gets stranger, Ruth starts to wonder if maybe her mother was right after all.

And maybe she wasn't the only one who returned to Birchfield--maybe, just maybe, the Wolf survived.

The idea and cover for this story came from @TriciaDehler and is an entry for her Golden Writer Writing Contest.All Rights Reserved
