His will to protect

One name was promise. The other name was hope. But on the night the shots rang out, nothing was left of their world.

Eighteen-year-old Liliana Cross knows fear better than anyone. She tries to be invisible in Boston. She hides in cheap apartments, studies at night, and her only anchor in reality is her three-year-old brother Liam, whom she has promised to protect at the cost of her own life. Lili is running from something. From a shadow that has the face of her own father and that could find her at any second.

Nineteen-year-old Sebastian Carter is an elite center on a college hockey team. He works his ass off on the ice and experiences immense pressure - he dreams of being noticed by the Boston Bruins coaches in the draft and making it to the NHL. But beneath his college jersey and mask of a talented athlete, he hides an impenetrable darkness. A darkness that stems from one fateful night in his childhood. Sebastian knows what it feels like to lose, and inside him is a ticking time bomb of anxiety and panic attacks that he can't stop.

Can someone who is still searching for a way out of their own darkness save you?
