Haunted by nightmares of her mother killing her, Janie just wants to be normal. Tristan is out of her league and the emotions he draws from her are almost enough to make her ignore all of the weird things he says. Almost enough to ignore the way the entire town seems ready to pounce on her as if she were fresh meat. The town of Everod has been waiting for Janie and if she hopes to survive, she'll need to confront the truth of who and what she really is.
