Petal Fall was always different. He himself didn't think so, but the other mothlings sure did. Snow Fall said it was because of his parents, but that couldn't be. His parents were dead. Petal Fall has three goals in life; get a job, get a house, and maybe get a mate. All of this is torn apart when his stepsister is brutally murdered by a shapeshifting parasite. Will Petal Fall rise to the occasion, or submit?
