Chapter 1

Where did they come from? No one knows. Why are they here? No one cares. The settlement called Mercy is trapped under a spell. No one bothers to ask questions, or imagine, or create. Mercy needs saving, but the only girl who can save them must first untangle the mess of her own new emotions. What she doesn't know, is something greater is coming. Something terrible, powerful, and unstoppable for the unsuspecting citizens of Mercy and beyond. There are bigger things to worry about than unimaginative pioneers.
