It's 1791 and Everly is living a normal teenage life in her small quiet village. But everything changes when her house gets broken into one night when her parents were out gathering firewood. Surrounded by nothing but blackness, Everly needs to save the village from being taken over by creatures they call "The Quiet Ones". Though she may have become blind, The Quiet Ones have chosen her to fight for the village. Finding the legendary Tree of Thorns is difficult enough for a young blind girl, but having to kill another villager with a sharp thorn is more than Everly can handle. Will she kill one of her close friends to save the entire village? Or will she refuse, and let The Quiet Ones plunge the village into complete darkness?
Gwen, desperate to feel something, kills someone. But she quickly learns that one kill is never enough. Can Gwen stop before she turns on her own family?

*****
It was just an experiment. Simply kill one person to see what it felt like. See beauty in the moment of death. See if it filled the void within her. It didn't. Nor did it the next time. Or the next. Gwen is an ordinary person. Wife to Amanda. Mother to Grace and Alexandra. Suddenly, she is no longer ordinary as she finds herself battling her urges and demons before she hurts those closest to her. But is it already too late?
