Hi. My name's Lea, like the field. I'm sixteen and I live on a farm that's too far away from the public schools so I'm home-schooled, but not, like, Christian home-schooled. My parents pulled me out of that a few years ago. My younger brother and I read a lot of books and learn what we want to learn. All that knowledge gets me in trouble though, because I mouth off to my dumb neighbors when they stick God and guns in my face. And I stick up for the people that they hate-the outsiders, the freaks, the people who live different lifestyles than them.

Unlike the other residents of St. Virgil, Selina DaSilva does not believe in magic. With a logical mind and a knack for botany, Selina used to dream of leaving the island to study Pharmacology—until a vicious, unsolved attack left her father dead and her mother in a coma. Now her guilt over her mother’s condition keeps her tethered to the island, relegated to conning gullible tourists with useless talismans and phony protection rituals. But when one of those tourists ends up at the center of a string of strange murders, the truth that Selina has been denying can no longer be avoided.

Story
Mac has never really felt like he belonged. Definitely not at home—his dad’s politics and toxic masculinity make a real connection impossible. He thought he fit in on the baseball team, but that’s only because he was pretending to be someone he wasn’t. Finding his first gay friend, Cammy, was momentous; finally, he could be his authentic self around someone else. But as it turned out, not really. Cammy could be cruel, and his “advice” often came off way harsh.

Recently, he’s fallen behind on deliveries (and deeper into a fog of alcohol).

When Nhika is finally caught by the infamous Butchers, she's auctioned off to the highest bidder—a mysterious girl garbed in white. But this strange buyer doesn't want to use Nhika as an assassin or a trophy piece.
