After surviving fourteen years of hell in a violently abusive marriage, Rosie Daniels finally summons the courage to flee for her life.

He's very good at finding people, even if he is losing his mind. Rosie’s only hope for salvation may lie in a far more dangerous place, where she must become her own myth and the woman she never knew she could be....
