Elena DeWinter has lived in Central City all of her life. She was homeschool ever since she started school and never goes out, except during the winter. Her parents are still afraid of her, so she moved out and got a place of her own. She stays inside, hidden from the world. Until one day she goes outside and gets robbed. She saves herself, but someone saw what happened and came to help. He seems nice enough. And he offers to help her. Will she accept the offer, or will she refuse and stay hidden. If she accepts the offer, her life could change forever.
