And when she gets out to investigate she's attacked.Rory survives miraculously but life begins to look and feel different. She's unnaturally strong with an aversion to silver--and suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. She's changing into someone else--something else maybe even a monster. But does that mean she's putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance?This darkly comedic love story is a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma rage and vulnerability.
