'I don't trust it, Luna. There's something going on that you're not telling me.'

'Maybe...' 

'Don't 'maybe' me! What is it?'

'Oh well, there's school. Gotta go!' 

Luna Oakley's whole life is quite abnormal. She's just a normal teenager with constant mood swings, oversleeping tendencies, a sister obsessed with celebrities, insecurities about herself, and a weird longing (not a crush!) for this guy at school. Her foster family seems to be fine with her and she has a great best friend.

Yet... She just feels distant from everything. She should feel happy and adapt to this lifestyle, but there has always been a void of darkness lingering within her mind. Hair and eyes lacking pigment and a horrifying nightmare repeating itself over and over, Luna realises one thing: She doesn't remember anything before her supposed parents were murdered four years ago. Her whole existence at that time just seems... Unreal.

However, the truth starts to unfold ever so slightly when she develops dangerous, unknown powers and a serial killer known as 'Death's Scythe' comes into the picture. Risking her life, facing Karens head-on and sacrificing friendships, everything Luna regarded as 'normal' is thrown into the trash as she searches for who she really is.

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?"
