Author C. M. Martens brings a new kind of paranormal world to life in this stunning debut.
"From beginning to end, never a dull moment! Be careful, you may not want to put it down."
Memory is fickle. To protect us from the unimaginable, it blocks what we might not accept.
But the past has a way of catching up, no matter how much we try to ignore it.
Vampires are not real. There was never a culture of beings on Earth before the dinosaurs were even a blip on the evolutionary radar. Genetic Engineering can not bestow superhuman powers. One violent encounter is all it takes for these impossibilities to be proven true.
The unreal made real forces Desiree to look at the pain and guilt of her forgotten memory. The more she digs, the more questions arise. The more she learns, the less real it all seems.
When Hamal shows up, a mysterious stranger who knows just too much about things no one should know, Dee knows he's bad news. But how can she turn away the only one who even pretends to have answers?
Thrown together, Hamal trains Dee to survive what's coming, only what's on the horizon is bigger than even he can see. As Dee is pulled further into a long-lost culture, obliged to trust the very beings who are after her, a whole new world opens. Deciding friend from foe, while determining if the price for answers is worth paying, Dee takes the path laid out for her, the Fool on a journey for her life.
