Publisher's Synopsis
She was her father's Princess, Treasure of her mother's life. Through neither fault nor effort of her own, Clarissa Christina Shannon was the only child of parents considered among the top ten wealthiest people on the planet. Hers was a life without want ... and she wanted everything! She was sixteen. She wanted to save the whales. Wanted to save the environment. To save starving babies in Bangladesh. Well ... that last one was really her current dearest best friend Suzette's idea ... but Clarissa jumped on it like it was hers from the get go! She was sixteen. Daddy sent a couple of extra Security Consultants along to help Andy Scott, her life-long nanny and bodyguard, keep the bad things away. But the bad things came anyway. The Save The Bangy Babies Express was scheduled to stop in Bangkok, Thailand for refueling and the mandatory PressFest. Except that the airport where they landed was out in the middle of nowhere. Where the bad things lived. The Security Consultants died trying to keep the bad things away. Andy Scott was beaten unconscious trying to keep them off Clarissa. At least he didn't have to witness them ripping her clothes off and raping her in front of Suzette and the other survivors ... not to mention all the Internet LookyLous! Andy could catch the reruns later. If he lived that long. Which wasn't very likely. Death was frequent in this place; though it hardly ever came easy. Clarissa Shannon lost her innocence, her virginity, and most of her sanity on the floor of an airplane in the middle of a jungle few civilized people even knew existed. It was streamed to the Internet for the whole wide world to watch! She was sixteen. Daddy sent a rescue team to get his daughter back; they all died without ever laying eyes on her. Then, the most lethal entity that ever walked the earth on two bare, bloody feet killed all the bad things. Killed the whole village! Then went for Clarissa Shannon. She looks like anyone she chooses; moves among us without being noticed; stands still as the dead; moves faster than they eye can follow; speaks and understands every language ever uttered by all of the Earth's Peoples; whispers unto your heart and communes with the Angel who is your Soul ... She is Bek ... If necessary, she can and will kill every life in the World to protect Clarissa Shannon. God help anybody who gets in her way ... Because nothing else in Heaven or the World can stop her!
