About the book
She woke up bleeding on a lonely beach… and someone wants her dead.
Eighteen-year-old Ann Baker doesn’t know her name, her past, or why she’s been shot—only that she’s being hunted.
When two strangers pull her from the surf and rush her into the mountains, Ann has no choice but to trust them. They take her to a hidden compound deep in the Pacific Northwest, a sanctuary for people who can read minds. They believe Ann is The Lost One—the missing girl whose powers could save their kind from extinction.
But safety is an illusion.
Inside the walls of the compound, jealousy simmers, loyalties fracture, and someone is quietly working against them from within. As whispers turn into deadly betrayals and bodies start to fall, Ann realizes her lost memories may be the key to everything.
To them, she isn’t just a girl. She’s hope.
And the boy she’s falling for might be the only one who truly understands what she’s becoming.
With enemies closing in from the outside and a traitor hiding among her protectors, Ann must uncover who she really is before it’s too late.
Trust is deadly. Love is forbidden. And her awakening could end the world.
An addictive paranormal romance packed with danger, passion, and shocking twists—perfect for fans of hidden powers, secret communities, and love that could doom them all.
