Since the death of her mother and stepfather, Nona has become many things she never imagined she'd be: a mother figure to four boys, an overworked seamstress hoping to open her own shop one day, and an oddity to her town, none of whom can understand why she's done any of the things she has in the past few years.

That is until the day Nona discovers an injured wolf deep in the woods and takes measures to save its life. Now Nona can feel eyes on her all over town: the presence of someone, or something, watching her. When this presence becomes a gentle giant of a man who says he wants to protect her from the (non-metaphorical) jackals at her door, Nona isn't sure what to think.
