I crouched in the underbush, my ears twitching at the slightest rustle of leaves. The forest was my refuge, a place where the humans' angry shouts and harsh glares couldn't reach me. I could sense them, though, their presence and constant thrum at the edge of my awarness. Being a doe hybrid meant living in constant fear, always on the lookout, always ready to flee. But today, something was different. Today, I wasn't running away. I was running toward something - toward answers, toward my past, and maybe, just maybe, toward future where i didn't have to hide. 

In a world where hybrids are marginalized and haunted, Kinsley, a gentle doe hybrid, must navigate a path fraught with danger and moral dilemmas. Torn between her innate gentleness and a growing rage against humans who persecute her kind, Kinsley faces an impossible choice: continue to flee, or stand and fight for a future where hybrids can feel safe on every step.
