"This fast-paced suspense story had me sneaking in chapters throughout the day until I finished." -Kim Conrey, author of Ares Ascending and Nicholas Eternal

Liz Tucker's childhood was ruled by the stars. Every morning, her mother read the horoscope page. When the prediction was positive, all was good. But God help them if the planets were out of alignment.

Now a successful producer in an LA public relations firm, Liz has escaped those arbitrary forecasts, but her mother's stroke takes her back to her stepfather's beautiful Atlanta house, a place she could never bring herself to call home.

Once there, dark memories resurface and terrify Liz with the prospect that her mother's condition is the result of one horrific night. As she struggles with distinguishing reality from imagination, she comes to understand the reasons for her self-destructive behavior. Everything from her terrible choices in men to running away from the only man she really loved can be explained by one dreadful event.

Before she can reclaim what was lost, forces return to destroy all she holds dear. Only Liz can stop them, but will she be strong enough?
