What happens when an average teen falls in love with a girl that society has deemed a monster? They run. Tod lives in a world where only thirty four years ago, babies started being born with horns. Now, the horned people have become the new minority. Not only are they persecuted, they're downright slaughtered! Every day people hear about the horned person who was shot and killed or beaten to death by police for petty crimes like jaywalking or loitering. But there's a rumor about a place where they can live in peace and be happy, Arduo. And it might be Tod's only hope. "'I'm putting my life on the line for an urban legend, doesn't that show how much you mean to me? Why won't you say it back to me when I say I love you?' 'If we make it to Arduo, I'll say it a thousand times over.'"
