By Cam Alabastor
“The human was supposed to die at my scream. But for her, I'll defy death itself . . .”
The last thing Shufen Lu wants is to move to a forgotten little town to live with her mom, but her overbearing step-mother gives her little choice. Her mom is welcoming, but the town is strange and sleepy and boring. That is, until she meets the mysterious and alluring Tiernan Aodh, and Shufen’s life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn.
Tiernan hides a dangerous secret in her sweet and lonely heart: she’s a banshee, a creature of doom, an omen of death. For years she protected her tiny town, but now, nobody is safe, least of all Shufen, the innocent and intriguing human fated to die at Tiernan’s hands . . . . now they must bargain with death . . .
It’s not easy to cheat death, but Shufen is prepared to go to the ends of the earth if it means she gets to have Tiernan.
