When Lily heads to college 1,500 miles away from home, she has no idea of the earth-shattering changes that lie ahead.


First, there's the matter of Kai, a mysterious Adirondack native and park ranger who seems to be hiding something even as he and Lily fall deeply in love. Then there are the humanoid creatures she sees lurking in the forest-and which apparently only appear to her. Finally, there's the new-age store in town, the Salty Swan, and its prescient proprietor, who seems to know a lot more than she lets on.


When all three factors converge and Kai's secret is revealed, Lily's world turns upside down, and she is faced with the biggest choice of her life: fight or flight-fear or love.
