Description
In a sunlit house beside a field, Lucy has built a life around routine, devotion, and the quiet comfort of control—until a visitor arrives with a message that shatters her world. When betrayal surfaces and the marriage is forced into a new, dangerous shape, Lucy and Jake choose not to flee, but to bargain with fate through a carefully measured game of harm and consequence. As their plan unfolds, Lucy’s sense of self begins to fracture, and a startling metamorphosis takes hold, turning love and revenge into something mythic and unsettling. With Megan Hunter’s lyrical, musical prose, this dark fairy-tale-like novel explores power, intimacy, and the body’s capacity for change—asking what it means to survive when the story you’re living stops belonging to you.
