Already boasting a young adult following in the fantasy genre for her debut novel BloodAngel, Justine Musk now plunges readers into the life of Kelly Ruland, a girl who is fated to face the evil threatening her family.
When her brother Jasper returns home after an unexplained absence, Kelly's small hometown is terrorized by a group of bikers led by the charismatic and unearthly Archie. Archie claims Jasper owes him on a deal, but Jasper refuses to pay up. The danger and violence escalates, until Kelly realizes only she can stop the chaos. But has she already waited too long? Reminiscent of popular young adult genre authors like Scott Westerfeld and Stephanie Meyer, Justine Musk draws readers in with her stark images, compelling characters, and vivid scenes. She is a sure-fire hit for fans of edgy supernatural fiction.
Kelly Ruland's world fell apart when her brother Jasper walked away the sole survivor of a car accident--and kept walking right out of town. Then one night, Jasper returns, but he's not alone. Someone has followed him home--someone who hovers in the shadows between the known and the unknown. His name is Archie, and he is the stranger they never asked to know, the guest they never invited.
"A fantastic, nightmarish tale of temptation and redemption and a fresh twist on fears as old as humanity." - Christopher Golden, bestselling author of Prowlers
