For Kadie, life has never been as fulfilling as it should be. After a serious argument with her parents a few years ago, it has been up to her to support her younger brother, making up for the hole that her parents have created in their lives. Her school is unsuitable, lacking in decent teachers and decent people - except for the few people Kadie has managed to befriend. And there is always the nagging feeling that Kadie is different, in a way unknown to herself.
But when a cluster of monsters deliberately seek her out and find her at school, her life is changed forever. Now she has found what she truly is, and almost everything has become right. However, despite being a new recruit at a very special centre, and new friends to account for too, the path destiny has chosen for will be rocky. There will be danger at every turn, times when a split-second could mean the difference between life and death. An evil man has set his heart on destroying this new community she belongs to, and his defeat is vital. But even though there will be good, complete times and flutters of hope in these dark times, Kadie's journey will be difficult. But who said life was ever easy?
