"Branches trembled as thunder rumbled in the sky. The air was muggy and thick, coating the foliage in soft grey gauze. Rain threatened to fall from pulsing black clouds and lightning lit the sky in the distance." Misty Hughes woke up after six years in a coma. Just eleven years old, she was placed into her distant cousin Tarren's care until further notice. That further notice becomes five years. Over the course of those long, cruel years, Misty experiences dreams that both terrify and mistify her; dreams about an older sister she's never known and a mother she could only wish to have. But the town of Creekling is going to find out that something lurks deep in the woods...something that Misty needs to find in order to find herself.
