It's 1936. Times are hard and love is harder. The seemingly charming Elijah Beckham meets the daring Ruth Ousley. Immediately they are drawn to one another and start to keeping company. What Ruth doesn't know is that Elijah's a big part of the Klan meetings her father holds outside her window, and that the sweet boy she first met has a longing for blood. She tries her hardest to change him, but he's stubborn and violent. When she takes in a few outcasts to protect them from the Klan and Elijah, matters only get worse. It's either the boy she's fighting to help and keep, or the poor people who have no one. Soon all of their lives are at stake. But can their hope outweigh fire and a group of bloodthirsty men, many of whom are their friends and family by day? And can the change of one boy lead only to more conflict for the town? Find out what it means to be hunted in the handsome yet conflicting novel of following your heart and fighting back when you're outnumbered by hundreds and society marks you as victim.
