They took my wife away in a single morning. Now I'll move heaven and earth to bring her back. I was just a mechanic in Miami, a husband making school lunches and kissing scraped knees, measuring love in peanut-butter sandwiches and bedtime stories. One ICE call later, my wife vanished into a system that treated her like a case number instead of the center of our world, leaving me with two terrified kids and a home that suddenly felt like a crime scene. Now every day is a fight. Against officers who speak in procedures instead of answers. Against lawyers' deadlines and government silence.

Sweeping the halls through the day, preparing feasts by night, attending to her stepmother and sister's every whim and fancy...such was life for Elara. She didn't like it—not one bit—but it was the life she'd resigned herself to, and there was simply no way out.

Emma was just a dreamer—until the nightmare becomes real. She escapes the shadows, but the battle to reclaim her life is only the beginning! Once an imaginative and lighthearted teen whose head was filled with survival stories, Emma never imagined living through the kind of stories she used to write—let alone fight for her life. Taken, hunted, and trapped in a brutal world of silence and control, she has to muster strength, knowledge, and instinct to escape with her life. But after surviving the darkness, the real journey begins, compelling her to build something powerful from the ruins.
