No city in the world has more strange sightings and unexplained mysteries per capita than San Cicaro. So when cub reporter Olivia Murphy strolls into her first official interview, even she knows better than to jump at every wild rumor.
Yet her unlikely source opens a Pandora's box of leads, many of which tie into a greater mystery. What do bees and a rash of disappearances at the zoo have in common? Are there parallels between uncanny pigeons and a fiery pet salamander? Could there be a connection between the myths of feral dogs and an entire city block gone mad? And just who are the Sisters of the Seasons?
Despite Olivia's skepticism, cracks are spreading in the enigma of San Cicaro. The secrets have begun to unravel, for better or worse. For while humans may lie for fear of being labeled insane, Mother Nature plays no such games.
