Sixteen years old. No money. No plan. No one coming to save her.
When Elise discovers she is to be sold into marriage to a man she has never met, she makes the only choice her life has left her: run. Slipping out her window the night before her wedding, she escapes into a vast desert with nothing but a backpack and a thousand dollars sewn into its lining - the result of three secret days selling her family's belongings piece by piece. What follows is a forty-three-day crossing of borders, oceans, and the limits of human endurance - guided by an unlikely protector named Hamza, who sees something in her eyes that she cannot yet see herself: a spark waiting to ignite. Years later, Elise has built everything she was told she could never have. A career. A family. A life she chose. But the past has not forgotten her. Blocked calls with no voice on the other end. A husband whose kindness hides a secret rot. A brother she once loved, now flying across an ocean with revenge in his heart. Untamed is a story about survival and the cost of it - about the people who carry us and the people who betray us, and about the stubborn, unbreakable light that lives in a person no matter what is done to put it out.
