The sound of your heart pounding out of your chest is the only sound that filled your ears as the 911 operator on the other line stayed deathly silent, the only other sound being the pitter patter of footsteps outside. Your boyfriend had just finished murdering his entire family... he had just finished murdering your father. Thirteen was too young of an age to die and you knew that better than anyone -- especially now. (Un)Luckily for you, you were the only survivor of the very first massacre the infamous 'Go to Sleep' killer had committed. However, things were far from normal. With the sudden appearance of a tall, faceless man and the re-appearance of your not-so-favorite ex-boyfriend, your life takes an even worse turn.

This is the prequel to "The Infectious Series." The first book in the series is "Infectious Intent," second is "Infectious Devotion" and third is "Infectious Submission." I would recommend reading the series before reading this book. It isn't needed to understand what is going on within the story, but it might spoil a few things if you decide to read this first before the trilogy. (F/n) (L/n), an apprentice to her mother for the art of weaving, stumbles upon a group of knights with her friend Jacob when they're seven years old. She encourages the knights to have safe travels due to the war occurring at the time, and one of the knights leaves a token behind for her as a means of thanks for her wish. Becoming fixated by this token, (f/n) strives to improve her craft all the more in hopes of one day meeting this knight and having a gift to present him back as her own token of thanks. In doing so, however, she unknowingly causes a hatred to brew within her village of Levonshire. Is it a matter of if the hatred will strike, or is it a matter of when will the hatred make its lasting mark on the village and (f/n)? I do not own the cover picture and videos (content within videos, etc.) used in the story. I do own, however, the story, its plot, characters, etc. So, please don't steal; thank you, and I hope that you enjoy the story.
