What starts with death can only end in death.
Emma lives on the run. From her father, her cult, and the guilt of killing her mother. Nothing to her name means fewer things her father, and her goddess the Shepherd, can take.
When she finds a fragile peace in the small town of Follyoaks, with friends, family, and perhaps a brighter future with the kind-hearted Will, she dares to hope for a normal life. But her father is closing in, and he's willing to scorch the Earth to bring her home.
When Death comes knocking, Emma must confront her demons or lose everything she’s grown to love. But the Shepherd’s magic deals in sacrifices, and its price is high. To gain the power to protect those she loves, her goddess will demand a payment no other can fulfill.
