Cornovaglia, futuro. Ogni persona ha diritto ad un miracolo e, quello di Marie Walker, è il riuscire a sopravvivere al suo mondo. Un mondo perso in una guerra di cui non si ricorda nemmeno l'inizio, se non come una pura leggenda, nata da quella che poteva essere una benedizione: l'invenzione della pillola Luna, l'unico farmaco capace, attraverso una modificazione dei geni, di conferire al corpo umano la facoltà di rigenerarsi in pochi secondi, facendo scomparire con le ferite anche il dolore. Un'innovazione, che, però, nessuno ha pensato di testare prima di mettere sul mercato, portando, così, alla fine dell'umanità per come la conosciamo. Per ogni umano con una dose, è nato un licantropo: creature capaci di mutarsi in lupi, con la brama del sangue e dotate di un'intelligenza così affilata da riuscire a costituire, in poche centinaia d'anni, una propria cultura. L'odio che ne è scaturito, poi, è stato solo una naturale conseguenza, così come il fatto che, nonostante il passare del tempo, le fazioni non siano mai riuscite a riunirsi. I lupi, nascosti nei loro boschi, sono ormai da cento anni sottomessi alla forza degli umani, che, dopo un'iniziale serie di sconfitte, sono riusciti a rifarsi grazie alla "Muraglia": un'imponente costruzione di cemento armato ripresa come protezione in ognuna delle loro città-rifugio e progettata non da meno che dal bisnonno di Marie. Lei, che porta nel sangue il peso di una gloria che non sente sua, cerca di sopravvivere all'amore malato per Garreth, il suo fidanzato; il matrimonio combinato voluto dal padre e la sua passione per le sere di tempesta. E sarà proprio in una di queste, quando sembra che le cose possano finalmente migliorare, che tutto avrà fine. Labbra rosse, occhi color smeraldo ed un cuore nero come l'ebano: la morte non è mai sembrata tanto dolce.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
