By The Bones

(In-Progress)

Penance in hiding. Seeking balance. 'Til along came a lab rat.

How do you live after you've done the unthinkable and forever upset the scales of justice?

Rhea Sullivan's answer was to run, leave the society of Callers, and hide among humans.  As an American college student, she studies and wrestles with her past until her compassionate response to a lab rat's final request draws the attention of another Caller in class.

Accepting her classmate's invitation, Rhea visits The House of the Moon Shutters. Though, Rhea is more interested in discovering whether her misdeeds and true identity remain secret than making new friends. At The House,  she finds a handful of Caller youth. Together, they live, heal, and practice their Art, hiding in plain sight, each for reasons of their own.

When betrayal brings danger to The House's threshold, Rhea must choose: run again or protect the new family she's found.

One is easy. The other exposes innocents to the devastation involved in being chosen by the Bones.
