(4) YA Lonely Kenna is relieved to discover she's not the only one with the frightening ability to consume life-force. She joins her grandmother and their fellow "Kalyptra" at their commune to learn to control her power--but the community is far less benign than it seems. Though the ritual sacrifice is a forgone conclusion, Bosworth's world- and magic-building are strong and intriguing.
