She creeps into the homes of day-folk under cover of darkness and takes what they won't miss.

To save the day-folk family that has become her own--and lift the curse that has robbed her people of their truth--Willa will meet deadly force with trusted alliance, violence with shelter, and an ever-changing world with a steady heartbeat of courage.\n
