Forced to Flee

She fled one danger—only to discover her destiny in the wilds beyond it.
Seventeen-year-old Sylvie has never known freedom. When circumstances force her to escape Charles Town, she faces an impossible choice: stay and risk being retaken by pirates … or brave the uncharted wilderness of Indian territory.
Alone and terrified, Sylvie’s path collides with Achak, an Indian brave who rescues her from the brink of death. Among his people, she discovers a world unlike anything she has ever known—a place of belonging, healing, and unexpected love. For the first time since Stone Eyes took her, Sylvie feels at home.
But the 1730s New World is as dangerous as it is beautiful.
When pirates capture Achak, Sylvie is thrust back into a life of uncertainty. Forced into a relentless journey from settlement to settlement, she must fight to survive as the frontier shifts beneath her feet.
Is she destined to wander forever? Or will Sylvie finally find the place—and the love—she can call her own?
Forced to Flee is a sweeping historical adventure filled with romance, peril, Native American culture, frontier survival, and the enduring hope of a girl searching for her place in a ruthless new world. Perfect for fans of Sara Donati, Diana Gabaldon, and Kathleen Grissom.
