While the rest of her peers are falling beneath the sway of her community's darkest rite of passage, she resists. For Lumen has a secret. Her mother never 'breached' and she knows she won't either. But as she investigates her town's strange traditions and unearths stories from her family's past, she soon realises she may not know herself - or her wild side - at all ...
