Seventeen -year-old Hadley never once stopped to consider that her life might be a lie. That changes one fateful night when a mysterious stranger saves her from an attack by an unknown, inhuman entity. Demanding answers, Hadley gets them though they are not at all what she expects.
It won't long before the simple life she always coveted starts to get a lot more complicated, and her world as she knows it crumbles away to reveal an intricately woven web of lies and treachery. She is left with a choice: to accept her new reality and regain control of her destiny, or fall prey to the darkness that has been lurking just one step behind her throughout her entire life.
