You tell your kids to not be afraid of monsters. "They don't exist" is the common told lie. Little do you know that monsters do exist, and too often are we the ones who create them. Aurora Destiel deserved to be a normal girl, with a normal life. She deserved to live once, and die once like every other human. But she learned first-hand the consequences of those who mess with death, and all of his power. This is the story of how Aurora became a monster.

Lennon Carter is a newly eighteen year old that's ready to get away from all she's ever known. She doesn't want to think about what happened, or even acknowledge the fact that it ever happened. Packing up the essentials and her credit card, she heads for the big open road without a plan insight. The plan comes to her from a strange suburban dad after a few days of aimlessly driving down the highway in the form of a paper town. Elliston is where all the nomads come together, a pit stop of sorts for the misguided. Anything is impossible in those woods because reality is no match for the time of Lennon's life. She's about to learn that freedom may come along with a bit of a young adult's romance novel plot line starring her and a boy just as screwed up as her, Jude Love.
