There was a very thin line between protection and being preyed upon, and most people didn't recognize the difference until it was already too late. Help always came dressed as opportunity, and opportunity never showed its teeth upfront. If something got easier too fast, it meant someone else had stepped in to carry the weight-for a reason. And reasons were never charity.
Rowan Pierce learned to live on that line without slipping. But, by the time you realized someone had been accounting for your life, the decision had already been made. The only question left was whether you would resist it-or grow into it.
