The lingering fears of the all-powerful Reapers, those who gather the souls of the dead and undying keep a final degree of trepidation along the edges of their sleep, and now, generations after their exile, only rumors and half-believed legends guide the people of Oldtown.But from the place they might have least expected comes Rom, twelve year old white-haired girl, whose inexplicable bravery gets her both in - and out - of trouble. A late night, a powerful storm and a wild creature all come together in Rom's path in a devastating manner.But even in the midst of such danger, Rom discovers that her own path is much more substantial than even she had ever dreamed.
