Edición en Inglés
Sixteen-year-old Cassie Mitchell knows all about her parents' savior complex—they're social workers who've fostered troubled teens for as long as she can remember. So when authorities discover seventeen-year-old Edward Cronin living in an Appalachian cave system, she's not surprised they volunteer to take him in.
But Edward isn't like their other foster kids.
He moves with unnatural grace, never sleeps in his bed, and has an unsettling fascination with raw meat. As Cassie helps him adjust to modern life, she finds herself drawn to his otherworldly nature—until neighborhood pets start disappearing, and she discovers ritualistic symbols carved into her windowsill.
The truth about Edward's discovery is darker than anyone reported. Police found him surrounded by human remains, the last survivor of a multi-generational cult that retreated from society in the 1930s. A cult that practiced cannibalism to commune with ancient mountain spirits. A cult that Cassie's own grandmother may have helped create.
As local teenagers begin to vanish, Cassie uncovers disturbing connections between her family and Edward's cave-dwelling community. The Mitchell bloodline carries its own dark secrets—secrets that have been calling to her, growing stronger with each passing day. Her grandmother's journals reveal generations of ritual hunting, and Edward seems determined to awaken something that's been sleeping in Cassie's blood.
Now she's developing enhanced senses, craving raw meat, and dreaming of mountain caves where ancient songs promise power to those willing to embrace darker appetites. But as she struggles against these changes, a terrifying question emerges: Did Edward choose her family by chance, or was he sent to bring her back to the old ways?
Some bloodlines carry more than just genes. Some hungers never die. And in the mountains of Appalachia, the line between predator and prey is older than civilization itself.
