Description
To the outside world, Ophelia Stoker and her mother Beatrice have had what appears to be a bohemian lifestyle, traveling across the globe while Beatrice works as a copywriter. Only, everything isn't as it seems. Her mother isn't the starry-eyed bohemian she portrays to the outside world. She's a trained killer, and she's been shaping 17-year-old Ophie in her image since the day she was born. And they haven't been jet-setting, they've been running. From what, you might ask? Faeries-and, well- a whole host of other monstrously magical creatures. Ophie is a little hazy about the why, but when she finds her mother mortally wounded in their Montreal apartment, Beatrice finally gives her a hint. A magical uprising of apocalyptic proportions is looming on the horizon, and somehow Ophelia and her mother are the seed of it all. As strange and horrifying events of magical design begin to plague the globe, the world is on edge, and things start to go more than a little haywire. Ophelia is determined to survive this giant mess her mother seems to have created for her and everyone else by any means necessary.
