THE FUTURE IS LOOKING BRIGHT FOR SIDNEY MOORE as she gets ready to leave the small island of Benediction for one of Boston's top veterinary programs.

Now a storm is bearing down on Benediction-a hurricane that will bring devastating winds and rain, rising tides... and something else. Something deadly. Something that will transform all the things that creep, crawl, and flutter into instruments of terror and death. - The future is looking bright for Sidney Moore. All she has to do is survive the storm.
