There are humans, and then there are Others. Had dreams and nightmares turned into reality, or had reality turned into dreams and nightmares? The line is fine but there is one thing every human understands. Get involved with Others at your own risk. Pray they don't involve themselves with you. Oriana was raised in this world of deadly beings. She knows the rules by heart and has always followed them. Yet when she's kidnapped and is left with fractured memories, it isn't the humans who will help her. She ends up at the door of an Other, only knowing he can help if he so chooses. Soon her world is brand new as Others both prove the tales right and wrong. At the heart of all her pain is a chained and furious goddess. The clear monster of her tale. But she sinks further and further into involvement with Others, regains more of her memories, and sees that familiar emotions are not a human monopoly. Who will the true monsters be?
