Chaine Forrester is twenty-five, smart, independent, free-willed... and lost.
With no memory of how she got there Chaine wakes in the strange town of Maude's Corner. What is she doing here? Where is she? The townspeople are telling her that she can't leave. Apparently this is her new home. She has no friends or family. She has no answers.
On top of all this the town is more dangerous than it first appears. For one thing, humanity isn't the only thing living here. Maude's Corner is full to the brim with the supernatural - reapers, demons, djinn, shaman, and just good old-fashioned thieves as well.
She also appears to be on someone's hit list.
No time for answers. Maude's Corner is all about survival.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
