Sanctuary. After a harrowing escape, Rona, Owen, and Anya have found a home within a traveling artist collective-a vibrant, wandering family that promises safety and anonymity. Here, Rona can finally learn to control the untamed magical Lattice now fused to her spine, and a fragile, new love can begin to bloom.
But the power Rona carries is a beacon in the dark, and the greatest threat isn't the crime lord hunting them-it's the one they're sharing a campfire with.
As paranoia and suspicion begin to fracture their safe haven, the trio must uncover the truth before it's too late. They are faced with a desperate choice: perform a dangerous ritual to save a friend, or watch as their new family is devoured from the inside out.
