Seventeen-year-old Lareina has no family, no home, and no last name. What she does have is an oddly shaped pendant and Detective Russ Galloway who would follow her across the country to take it from her.

Hoping to escape the detective and discover the truth about her pendant, Lareina begins a long journey to the only home she has ever known. Already struggling to survive in a chaotic and crumbling world, Lareina must decide whether protecting the pendant is worth the added danger to herself and the people she meets on her journey.
