I thought I was good at hiding from monsters.

I was wrong.

I enroll in college, change my name,

and build a new life for myself.

I'm finally free.

Until the night I see him again and my world falls apart.

Now he's back.

When I learn his dark secrets, I can't shake him.

But the past has a way of hunting me down.

As the darkness rises and comes for me

I have to face the truth and the lies I tried to leave behind.

Will I lose the only man I've ever loved, or will my past ruin my future as well?
