-
You would do anything for your family . . . even if they are monsters. Rebecca Carter is back from the dead. Driven by two desperate urges - to find her daughter, and to sate her hunger - she seeks out the only person who can help her: the Nurse. But when she arrives she finds him badly injured, and with warnings of a new danger hot on her tail.
Alone in the wild, Monica Carter survives on whatever small prey she can hunt down. But she needs more. One night, lost and terrified, she catches the maddening scent of human blood. A young man calls out to her as Moonflower, and tells her to come with him and his younger brother. They will look after her. Keep her safe. Though Willard and Henderson Davis are not what they seem. They know all about dying and disappearing - after all, it's been more than three decades since they did the same.
As they travel east, Moonflower's hope for a new family soon turns to terror when she finds she is not their guest, but their prisoner - the brothers chose to be what they are, relishing the slaughter, and her death and rebirth fifteen years ago have deep significance for them. But they aren't alone on the road. FBI agent Sarah McGrath, haunted by the death of her partner, Marc Donner, moments after he killed Rebecca, is beginning to wonder if he was right about the Carters all along.
When a fresh trail of bodies emerges she is increasingly convinced of one thing. If following that trail means trouble, then so be it.
