Amelia Thatcher is an extraordinary girl, the nuns who raised called her an abomination and said she should be destroyed. She has been attacked, left tied to a tree for the wolves to eat and burned as a witch. The thing is, she is still alive and she has no idea why. Wandering the world looking for a place she can call home, she is drawn to a small village in Tibet, a monk by the name of Pang thinks he has the key to the answers she longs for. But her answers come with a sacrifice, how can she give up the world and all its wonder for a life in the depths of the earth? Will the glorious looking William Gilbert be enough to keep her there or is he her true enemy? Amelia has a purpose, but all she really wants is to return to the life of solitude she once had, to go un-noticed, but they have huge plans for her. Unbeknown to Amelia, the plight of humanity rests upon her shoulders. But what is the point of fighting for humanity when it has done all it can to destroy her? They are everywhere, would you know if you saw one?
