Rayne is normal in nearly all aspects, aside from her sometimes disturbing fascination with everything that shouldn't exist. Thanks to tales of her ancestor's, or at least, that's what Rayne thought. But when the Montés, a large new family, comes to town, Rayne and her little brother Oliver begin to experience some frightening things. Not only that, but his sweet, scared domineer changes drastically, creating problems within the family, and with Rayne’s own life.
An accident occurs, putting Rayne in a bizarre and explainable coma, causing her to have more dreams of strange people. When she returns home from the hospital, she is awakened and kidnapped, and their leader isn’t happy with the towns’ newest family. What did the Montés do that angered him? And why does he seem to follow Rayne? What will the terrifying new visitors do to get back at them?
As Rayne’s feelings for the two Montés brothers grow, the changes she’s going through become even more painful and uncontrollable. To Rayne’s surprise, the Montés and the band of kidnappers are not the only things that start showing up that she didn’t think existed. When Brom, a “family friend”, proves there's more than what she was able to see, Rayne starts trying to “see” what she wasn't able to before. But could what she sees be too much for her to handle along with all the disturbing changes happening to her?
With everything that’s happened and what’s to come, Rayne begins asking herself if the tales could be true, and what she has to do with them, or if the legends are leaving something important out.
Will Rayne be able to handle the massive pressure placed on her, not only by the Montés boys and the leader of the kidnappers, but by an entirely new world? Will she be able to tackle the problems that arise from the one thing she once wanted so badly to exist? The one thing she worries about most of all? Will she be able to cope with the truth about herself?
Legends are myths, fables, stories passed down for years and years, from one generation to the next. They are not real, they do not walk and talk, and they certainly do not stalk an ordinary twenty-five year old like Rayne Slade.
...or so she thought.
Given an experimental drug as a child fighting cancer, no one, including Rayne herself, could have ever imagined the effects it would have on her adult life or how it might lead to the destruction of civilization. With no family left to help her through the day to day affairs of adulthood, a series of break-ins and a mysterious note sends her across the country with Camden Dallas, a beautiful stranger sent by her presumably dead grandfather, and on the path to uncover the mysteries of her past, all while trying to keep her heart from being stolen by the cryptic newcomer.
All the struggling waitress wants is to return to some semblance of a normal life, but when an ancient force rears its ugly head and tries to use her to take over the world, Rayne and her new, pale companions have no choice but to fight back in order to save the human race.
