Pursued by the Inquisition, Kit only has her dim memories of home to guide her escape.

Timothy Clarke isn’t much of a shepherd. His youngest lamb gives him no end of trouble. When he ventures into the woods—yet again—to find her, he finds more trouble than a single lamb could cause.

Together, Kit and Timothy must avoid the long reach of the Inquisition and find Kit's home. But they soon realize a threat they cannot escape: their growing feelings for each other.
