Mairin Murdoch's life has been far from sheltered. Taught to be resourceful and pragmatic, she takes what she needs. When a series of events lead her to Bilburre, a doomed village, her world is turned upside down. Suddenly she realizes she has made all the wrong decisions, shunning the wrong man and taking advantage of those who mean to help her. Can she put aside her instincts for self-preservation to save another? Book two in the Hidden Place trilogy unfolds parallel to Ava's story.
