Liadain never dreamed of being a hero.
Trapped in a failing body, she's learned to expect nothing from life except pain and disappointment. She knows better than to hope for a miracle.
When an unexpected savior offers her the power to become a Keeper, she's torn between the allure of survival and the fear that she's just trading one pain-filled existence for another.

The Harbingers feed on pain . . . but her hunger may be even greater.
