But that was not to be.

As she comes of age, she realizes that the Ridge harbours dark secrets that were kept veiled away for centuries. Sickened by the new discoveries, she vows to one day escape the life that has held her hostage for so many years.

But Soren’s journey has only begun. As she runs, her past haunts her, pushing her to the brink of desperation. Alone and afraid, she is forced to choose between friendship and survival. Which one she will choose to pursue and which one she will leave behind.
