“In a world where humanity is merely prey, one woman's desperate escape could unravel the delicate balance between predator and hunted.”

Earth is ruled by the Others – powerful, unearthly entities like vampires and shapeshifters – who largely view humans as a resource. Meg Corbyn, a unique human known as a *cassandra sangue* or blood prophet, has spent her life enslaved for her visions. When she finally escapes, her only refuge is within a territory controlled by the very creatures she's been taught to fear.

Meg is initially a deeply vulnerable woman, scarred by a life of captivity, who seeks only freedom and safety. Despite her initial fragility, she possesses an innate resilience and a quiet strength that belies her past.

Across this five-book urban fantasy series, readers witness Meg's profound transformation from a broken survivor into a formidable figure. Her personal quest for freedom evolves into a broader struggle for coexistence between species, fostering unlikely alliances and challenging the very nature of power.
