A Supernatural Thriller
A young girl discovers she is manifesting terrifying powers, especially the ability to enter and manipulate the minds of others. Targeted by an ancient family whose own powers are waning, she finds herself ripped from her normal life and imprisoned in a stone catacombs under an abandoned quarry.
There, she must confront the unknowable intentions of a creature whose own powers seem limitless, the deadly battle waged by his children for their father's affections, and the very real danger not only to her but to schoolmate swept into this conflict.
The worst part is, more frightening even than her circumstances, Maggie Stuart no longer feels human herself. What is she becoming, will she ever escape -- and when she can, will she still want to?
