She spent the next 220 years drifting from town to town, never staying anywhere long enough to feel entirely safe. Terrified and haunted by unpredictable spirits, Rowan learned to rely on her charm, quick wit, and talent for reading people to earn food, shelter, and coin as a traveling fortune teller. Though the spirits sometimes revealed concealed truths, they were often unreliable, teaching Rowan to depend more on intuition, performance, and deception than the dead.
Rowan hasn't seen the hag since the night she ran. Even after more than two centuries, she lives with the constant fear that the hag will be waiting around the next corner, ready to finally claim her wayward daughter.
Running has kept Rowan alive, but it has never made her free. She knows she will never find peace while the hag still lives.
