“Freedom isn’t the end of the story. It’s where the danger begins.”

You’ve met her before.

In Shattered: The Caretaker, you saw Taya just a child holding her broken family together while her world fell apart.

In Shattered: The Fighter, you followed Sister into the shadows, where every closed door hid a threat, and survival meant never letting your guard down.

Now, the fight takes its most dangerous turn yet.

At thirteen, Sister doesn’t just dream of escape she does it. No goodbyes. No plan. Just the road ahead and a fragile hope that it’s safer than the home she’s leaving.

But the road has its own predators.

Every stranger hides a question: trust them… or run faster?

Every decision carves a path toward freedom—or toward something far worse. And when love offers her a place to rest, she has to ask the most dangerous question of all:

Is this where I stop running… or where the trap snaps shut?

Told with the same raw, unflinching voice that made the first two books unforgettable, Shattered: The Runaway is the heart-pounding conclusion to the Shattered series, a story of flight, fear, and the final, desperate gamble for a life that’s truly her own.

But when the road ends, will she finally be free, or will she discover she’s been running straight toward the danger all along?
