Born into a world governed by fear, Adrienne's life is built upon lies. Every step she has taken since childhood has been defined by her struggle to keep childhood powers locked deep inside, and escape notice of the tyrant order of priests that govern the town of Serenity.
But nothing stays hidden forever.
Now a woman, she finds herself drowning in an ability abruptly broken free of its chains by the shadows in the night. Every moment that it grew stronger within her was lived on borrowed time and with no other option, Adrienne must make the harrowing decision to escape her home and walk away from everything she had ever known.
Few ever escape the iron clutches of Serenity, and with supernatural forces awakening below the surface, Adrienne was on a collision course with the darkness she feared most.
