description: When you're born into a lie, trust will never be your strong point. I should have never existed. My father didn't want me, my mother was killed trying to get us away from him, and although my siblings knew of our father's sick and twisted games, they followed his footsteps instead of creating their own. My imprint on the land was basically non-existent, but since it was far from the controversy of my family's 'business', I was living my best life. That was until the embers of my past sailed back in so furiously they burned. She was the woman I had failed to protect, the one I was living the life of a hermit for, but since her very existence was now dangerously entangled with mine, she was also the one I had to let in even with it doubling the chance she wouldn't make it out the same. Jae Ward was once my savior, but now I must be her captor because when lies are twisted, the only person you can trust is yourself.
