HER BLOOD. HER LOVE. HER FREEDOM.
"How many of my sins will have to be paid for in blood?"
Sixteen-year-old Bethany Keatley finally has the healthy body and looks she's always desired. But the price she's had to pay has left her traumatized.
The only thing making her battle on is the memory of that kiss with Jeremiah.
Now miles from him and living in Florida with an aunt she's never met, shocking revelations about her parents are too much to bear. After collapsing from exhaustion and shock, Bethany wakes in a hospital bed awaiting test results--results that might lead to the discovery of her unusual butterfly blood.
But that's the least of Bethany's concerns when the doctor informs her she's infected with a parasite and without immediate treatment she'll die.
Too young to refuse and too weak to fight back, Bethany's life once again hangs in the balance. Yet her scientific knowledge and suspicious nature lead her to unravel a horrifying web of lies.
Will nature intervene again, demanding another payment?
In this stunning sequel to the award-winning BUTTERFLY BONES, Rebecca Carpenter raises the stakes and offers up an intense and heartbreaking ride that will leave you shocked to the core.
