Bree's mother has died. She's off to early college with her best friend. The first night she convinced her friend to go to a party. She sees monsters and two mysterious people with mysterious powers. 

The story that follows steeped in Arthurian legends. We follow Bri, as she uncovers truths about herself and the people around her. It's rapid pace finishes in a thrilling conclusion that left me wanting more. 

Beyond that, it is a meditation on different types of grief, different types of trauma, and different types of coping mechanisms. It's a story about healing and finding your place in a world that doesn't want to make room for you. 

As soon as I finished it, I started it again.
