From #1 New York Times bestselling
author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a riveting new story
about friendship, survival and finding your voice
For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory "Mouse"
Dodge, it's a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best
way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it's been
four years since her nightmare ended, she's beginning to
worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.
Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive
parents, Mallory must face a new milestone--spending her
senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying
and exhilarating scenarios she's imagined, there's one she
never dreamed of--that she'd run into Rider Stark, the
friend and protector she hasn't seen since childhood, on her
very first day.
It doesn't take long for Mallory to realize that the
connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the
deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that
she's not the only one grappling with lingering scars from
the past. And as she watches Rider's life spiral out of
control, Mallory must make a choice between staying silent
and speaking out--for the people she loves, the life she
wants and the truths that need to be heard.
