About the Publisher
It wasnât the first time I went back there. Back to the night I destroyed the soul of my grandson, David. Part of the family I didnât remember. The visions used to be more frequent and, I suppose, I had to be thankful for that. Jackson was always there to wake me up.
And like every other time, I fell into the vision not remembering how I got there. The sharp rock walls closed in around me as the insatiable need to feed awoke, twisting its silky fingers around every fiber of my soul.
Then, I saw the man that brought me there.
David.
His name brought forth a barrage of images and new memories, ones Iâd experienced through his daughter after he trapped me in her body. He had taken Allyâs soul knowing that because of our familial link her body would accept mine in her absence. He wanted my power to be awakened on her eighteenth birthday through her transformation, and as much as I had tried to stop it, my power had been awoken after he insisted on hurting the only friends I had.
