jinora_graceAnother repost from LiveJournal:
I think this book was published between Fall 2005 and Spring 2010, as I recall that the book was displayed prominently in the high school library; normally only new releases were displayed like this if I remember right. The main character's mother had escaped this pack of wolf-creatures (I think?) where she had been kept captive. The mother had been a captive for her whole remembered life before escaping, and it was a hellish memory for her. After escaping, she has to learn how to live in normal society, and she raises her daughter constantly on the move to avoid the pack recapturing them. The daughter was captured by that same pack as a teenager. I seem to recall there was a crumbling castle setting where the creatures lived, but it was a modern setting. In some sort of ritualistic thing, she had swirls painted on her skin, and one of the pack is supposed to take her as a mate. I distinctly remember a picture in the book depicting her with the swirls painted on her skin. I am pretty sure the pack's culture is declining, and they somehow "need" the girl in order to survive. I think there was some kind of telepathy or empathy thing involved, too.
