1986: Rebecca Essig comes home from a slumber party to a massacre-- committed by her own parents. Only one of her siblings has survived-- and they are among very few survivors of a nationwide slaughter. Present day: Pregnant and on the run with a small band of compatriots, Delilah Marlow is determined to bring her baby into the world safely and secretly. She's desperate to reunite with Zyanya, the cheetah shifter; with her brother and children; to unify the adopted family of fellow cryptids she came to love and rely on in captivity. But Delilah is about to discover that her role in the human versus cryptid war is destined to be much larger-- and more dangerous-- than she ever could have imagined. -- adapted from back cover
