Book excerpt: A young woman named Maika, an outsider, an outcast, begins to unravel her mysterious past, and in the process discovers she's got a tenuous psychic connection to a powerful, otherworldly creature, one of many that roam the earth. This link puts her in the cross-hairs of an old battle between competing supernatural and human factions, all of whom desire control over these elusive creatures. What none of them count on is Maika herself - her courage, her intelligence, her compassion - or the fact that she's slowly becoming something more than human. A dark fantastic adventure set in an alternate 1900s Asia.
