Summary
Dusk falls fast around you, the taunts and jeers of your pursuers as ominous as the howling of wolves, and you sprint harder, the air burning in your lungs.
‘Don’t stray off the paths’ you’d been warned when you first arrived at the quaint village. The forest around the paths and at the edge of town was bright and airy--alive with an abundance of bird song and the rustle of squirrels and other small animals scampering about the sun-dappled mossy floor. The woods you run through now, however, quickly grow dense and dark, becoming more and more difficult to navigate. You have no idea where you’re going, but you don’t have the luxury of time to reconsider. If you stop, you’ll die.

Summary
The first time you formally meet Silas McCall, your husband has brought you to his boss to show you off like the object he treats you as. You knew the name, of course, having lived just outside town all your life, but somehow you hadn’t expected the dirty, grizzled brute of a cowboy standing in front of you to be the man who unofficially runs it.
