What if the strange dreams you have been having tell the real story of your life?

Cassy Wilmark, a tenacious eighteen-year-old living in small-town America, knows nothing but her poverty-stricken life. She struggles to keep food on the table for her twin sister and mentally-ill mother by scavenging in the woods near her home. When an army that her barely lucid mother seems to recognize arrives at her door declaring her town conquered, Cassy is suddenly plagued with dreams of a past life that she doesn't recognize; dreams that involve royalty and human experimentation, horrors beyond her imagination and the nostalgia of a childhood that isn't hers. Can this seemingly ordinary girl separate reality from fantasy before she loses her family, or is the fantasy truly her reality?
