I wanted solitude. I just wanted to be left the hell alone. I thought life had taken everything from me. I was wrong. Reclusive horror writer Tess Vere has lost everything. There is no possible way her craptastic life can get much worse. Until she is attacked by a shadow creature on the Lake Huron shore. Rescued by a Ninja Indian chick and her tasty (in every way) side-kick, Tess learns that she still has something left to lose after all. Her humanity.
