Book Synopsis

"Readers will be swept away by the romance and paranormal elements of this debut tale" (School Library Journal).

I thought I knew myself. Then I met Caleb . . .

Dez is a good girl who does as she's told and tries not to be noticed. Then she rescues a boy, Caleb, from a cage, and he tells her secrets about herself. Now inside her burns a darkness that will transform her.

Everything is about to change-and neither Caleb, nor the Otherkin, nor those who hunt them are prepared for what Dez will unleash.
