Brought to you by Penguin. HE HAS CALLED TO HER ALL HER LIFE, BUT SHE COULD NEVER REPLY. . . Midonia, a freelance interplanetary transporter, is on thin ice after a fatal accident on the job.

When a solar flare grounds her ship, Midonia finds herself stuck with the cult-like sisters. Even worse, he comes to her in the night, his familiar voice louder than ever. He invades her mind with his hunger, sparking a ravenous obsession that will be near-impossible to escape. He speaks to Midonia as if he knows her, has been waiting for her.
