A short novella about Raven, a young girl, who has become trapped by her parents and her village as her body has changed beyond her control. Frightened and broken after an argument, Raven finally makes a choice: to run. Finding refuge in the forbidden forest, she hides, wishing for her problems to go away, wishing for herself to disappear, until she is found—not by her family or the people of her village, but by exactly the thing she was told to fear: a wolf.
