Publisher's Synopsis
From the shadows of ages they come, lingering on the fringes of ancient festivals where thousands of years of dancing feet have worn the edges of reality thin. A festival is due; and they know this. They will find her, invade her mind and make her pay the price for an act of rebellion committed three thousand years before her birth. Shelena is twenty-one, bright and full of potential. Medical student, loyal daughter, patient friend (a necessity when one's best friend is Charlie Whick); everything should be going her way. Beneath the lights of the Venetian Carnival, Shelena's world is about to change forever.
