Now Sophia is expected to attend high school in a sleepy Montana town. She is told to forget the past, but she’s haunted by it.

Then comes strong and silent Aksel, whose skills match Sophia’s, and who seems to know more about her than he’s letting on . . . What if everything Sophia thought she knew about her past is a lie?
