Shallow Rivers is home for Faith Rosie Miller, but her return hasn’t gone the way she envisioned. Grappling with the truths of her painful past, she only wants to be left alone, but unfortunately, Arnold is dying to know more about her and will do anything to find out who she is.

Faith’s guard is up, and trusting anyone, even the two men she loves, becomes a challenge. On her journey as a student at Shallow Rivers, she has uncovered her mother’s secrets and needs to tell someone, but she has to put that on hold when she learns that the Ethosien Games, the event the school’s level 2 students enter, is going to take place earlier than expected, making it hard for her to focus on anything else but that and to know who she can trust.
