But when she wakes up, scared and pulling dirt from her mouth, a year has passed and she cant explain how. Nor can she explain the man lying at her grave, dead from her touch, or why her heartbeat comes and goes. She doesnt remember who killed her or why. All she knows is that shes somehow conscious--and not only that, shes able to sense who around her is hiding a murderous past. Haunted by happy memories from her life, Breezy sets out to find answers in the gritty, threatening world to which she now belongs--where killers hide in plain sight, and a sinister cult is hunting for strange creatures like her. What she discovers is at once empowering, redemptive, and dangerous.
