Her ability has alienated her from her peers and cast her out of normal society. She has found solace in stories from old books and the kind understanding of an old family friend. When a creature unlike any she has ever seen before explodes into her life she quickly learns that the things she thought were only old stories are very real.Once upon a time all the legends and stories were true.
