Alexia just woke up from the hospital and it's been five long weeks since she was shot with the poison arrow. With Gabe by her side, they begin the search to find where the authorities are torturing Shadow, but six months later they are still no closer to finding him. When Alexia has a revelation and sets out to save Shadow alone, her luck takes a turn for the worst, because Shadow is not who he once was and now he is not only a danger to himself but also to her. However, Alexia won't give up on him. Can she break through to the boy she once knew and loved?
