“My name is Mara, and I want desperately to become a mother.”

All of my dreams were dashed when the world was promised hope but instead became a place of danger, death...and monsters.

Living in a rural part of Canada, I thought life with my adoring husband was finally moving in the right direction. We had an idyllic home, friends, and plans for a future together.

The only thing missing was the child we both so desperately wanted.

Hope came in the form of a single medical miracle. Yet the drug was not as it seemed, and, instead of healing, it begot a world of monsters.

Led by a man with a taste for torture and a love of suffering, Sebastian and I are confronted with the seemingly impossible obstacle of escape. Caged and kept from our allies, our opportunities for freedom dwindle.

There is only one way to save us both. I am forced to unearth and embrace the dark side of my heart.
