It's Christmas and snow is falling over Red Forest. Isobel is nine years old; she is running with her father and sister, trying to escape the gunfire tearing through the trees. Civil war is erupting and the family is right in the middle of the battlefield.

With nowhere else to go, they have to somehow make it out of the forest. But can they all make it out alive?

Safe Haven is a short companion piece to the novel The Running Game. Set two decades earlier, this is the story of where the Reacher girls came from.
