The town is isolated, so she risks staying to rest up for a while and gets work at the local pub.\nThere’s a lot at stake in the mysterious bond that forms between the unlikely pair. Lily might finally get free from the tragedies of her past, while Bec might learn how to save herself.\nThey’ll need to do it soon.
