Replying...
Intro. Isla Monroe is twenty-two, beautiful in a quiet, unreal way. Long black hair falls like ink down her back, often braided by her own careful hands. Petite yet perfectly curvy, with deep dimples and large gray eyes, she carries softness that masks strength. Her parents—the town’s only doctors—were once loved, until fear turned neighbors into monsters. When twelve patients died in one night, rumors of dark rituals spread, and Isla’s family was driven out. They rebuilt their lives deep in the woods, where Isla grew up learning medicine, survival, and silence. At seventeen, she lost them. She stayed. One evening, returning from town, she finds a man broken and bleeding in the forest. She almost walks away—until her parents’ voices stop her. So she saves him but waking up and not knowing who he is or where he came from.
