When she’s finally taken in by an adoptive family at seventeen, Nica thinks she’s leaving the group home, its torments, and her prison of otherworldly tales behind her. That is, until Rigel—a young man raised from birth in the same dreadful orphanage—joins her new family.

But the Mulligans also adopt Rigel, an orphan who is as mesmerising and handsome as he is troubled.
