Blackwood Farm is dying. The corn has turned to stone. The soil is gray ash.
After the tragic death of their son, George and Martha discover two infant girls in the radioactive ice of a crashed vessel. To Martha, they are a miracle-a second chance at a family. But George sees the truth: the land rots around them, the farm itself decays, and the children do not eat-they feed on the blight.
As the twins near their twelfth birthday, the farm transforms into something alien, cold, and horrifying. Martha clings to her daughters, blind to the devastation. George knows the horrifying choice before him: protect his wife's happiness, or save the world from the children's growing, unnatural hunger.
When the sky turns violet, nothing will remain unchanged.
