With haunting guilt and crushing sadness as her only companions, Brynn, an unloved and friendless dressmaker, has learned to find solace in her intricate everyday routine. And isolated within her eerily vacant childhood home, Brynn expects no visitors. Then, a blood-chilling noise in the dead of night awakens her. As the sheer terror of a home invasion demands a clear mind to fight back, Brynn must brace herself for a long, unimaginable ordeal. After all, the eccentric recluse is about to discover that not all housebreakings are the same, especially when the dangerous intruder is something other than human.—Nick Riganas
