The last of their lines, they exist on the fringes of society and subsist on a diet of stories and legends. Children are rare, and their numbers have dwindled, so when Devon Fairweather's second child is born a dreaded Mind Eater, a perversion of her own kind, who consumes not stories but the minds and souls of humans, she flees before he can be turned into a weapon for the family or worse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiving among humans and finding prey for her son, Devon seeks a cure for his hunger. But time is running out—for her family wants her back, and with every soul her son consumes, he loses a little more of himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a story of escape, a mother's savage devotion, and a queer love that will electrify readers looking for something beguiling, thrilling, strange, and new.
