Description:Meera and her twin
sister Kai are among thousands of hybrid women—called Mades—bred by the
Father in his Blood Temple cult. Meera is rescued by a mysterious healer
and storyteller, Narn, but her sister, Kai, does not survive the
Father’s “unmaking.” Years later, when the cult is discovered and
abolished, Meera, still racked with guilt and grief, enrols in college
to take advantage of a generous new Redress Program.
When Narn’s
conjure stories buy Meera a free ride to a notorious horror reading
series, she is soon the darling of the lit set, feted by the other
students, finally whole, finally free of the idea that she should have
died instead of her sister. But college is not all it seems—Narn has
lost a sister too, and Meera agrees to try and find her if Narn will
keep feeding Meera the stories that are opening her up to memories she’s
never acknowledged, secrets she’s never wanted to know, about Narn’s
and the Father’s connection to a violent campus stalker.
