This time they've asked to much from her. It's beyond what she's willing to even fake. It's beyond her will to survive. Tori finds herself on a ledge.

They are men on a mission and part of that mission involves bringing to light the very nightmares that brought Tori to a ledge in the first place. When Tori finds out why they are really there will she be able to move past the sting of betrayal and help them or will she be completely broken?

As she grows, she asks about things no one else can see or feel - which only makes things worse. The world is much too dangerous for Selene- no one will understand and will only try to hurt her. She is hidden away in her parents' large and lonely house- for her own good of course. Her life changes forever though one late afternoon when she finds that her wooded backyard is no longer the sanctuary she has always counted on. She learns that the world is a terrifying place, but not for the reasons her mother has always given her.- But more importantly, 5 young men will show her that she truly is a treasure - one that they have been desperately searching for.
