Publisher's Synopsis
After being unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend, Annie accepts a teaching position in a small pictoresque village. Then Annie meets beautiful, charming, magnetic Sophie, who wants to be her friend. More importantly, she wants Annie to stop apologising and start living for herself. Annie wants to spend more and more time with her, despite the fact that the rest of the townsfolk seem... a little afraid of her. Sophie's appearance is uncanny, her mansion in the middle of the woods feels a little unearthly, and she does seem to wield a certain power...but she couldn't be - could she?
