She ate her mother.

She was birthed anew.

Now she must pay the price.

Lilya Chong is your average, beanstalk-thin sixteen-year-old in East Greyville, where the beaches are plenty, everything is expensive, and nothing ever happens. That is, until she commits the indelible sin of consuming her freshly dead mother's corpse and is birthed a changeling—an immortal, supernatural creature who can only subsist on human flesh.

With the guidance of an unlikely bedfellow, Lilya must now learn how to navigate this strange new world; unfortunately, this particular strange new world is out to get her, and she'd much rather face it all lying down.

Who can she trust? Who can she love? Who should she be afraid of? No sweat: she's only got an eternity to figure it out.
