Publisher's Synopsis
Coming of age is difficult enough, but doing so under a curse would complicate things in ways that nobody could foresee. A spell, a curse had decided young Revillee's fate before she was born, and as soon as womanhood begins to find her she would find herself at the center of a monster's attention. Now fourteen seasons old, her destiny would force itself onto her as her village is visited by a creature that would posses her-and kill all that gets in its way. However, things are not as they seem, and when some in the village attempt to end the curse by ending Revillee's young life they are met with the beast's ferocity as it attacks yet again, seemingly to defend the innocent child who wants nothing more than to be a normal girl again. Forced to flee her village, Revillee finds herself amid turmoil that she had never imagined as forces seek her out to force her to fulfill a destiny she knows nothing of, and her only salvation may lie in the one creature in the world she fears most of all.
