Seventeen-year-old Rosalynd Branch, a dishonest high school journalist, has stumbled across the biggest story in Marion Springs - a graveyard containing the bodies of children where the town's founders should be. Along with unstable delinquent Jess Consuela King, Ros discovers that she has been codenamed and is being watched by the wealthy Castillo family and their acolytes hidden in the community - a talismanic cult with international ties called the Blacktalon. For years, they have abducted and swapped souls with people who would not be missed, or whose disappearance could be covered up. But when diseases and deformities appear all over Marion Springs as that prison of souls threatens to rip apart, Ros and Jess will be ripped apart too - from each other, their families, and themselves.
