Back at home, Daren knows he is changed from the encounter with the panthera. The time from school missed and his new mood swings make reaching his goals for a normal life problematic. And then there's the new girl at school with an alluring presence and mesmerizingly blue eyes. The quick connection he feels for her leaves him guilty about the panthera he left in the woods, the one who sacrificed herself to save him. But he cannot ignore the fact he feels worlds better when he's around her.
Could she be the key to him moving?

All the while, the panthera are still in the forest.
And they never let anyone return home . . .
