Ame always knew she was different. The voices in her head reminded her all the time. Anti-psychotics couldn't stop them. Her abduction from her home to the underworld was foretold. What seemed at first a nightmare, however, turns around. Her kidnapper, Freddy, actually has the heart to protect and care for her. And her new best friend, Bless, a tall and sarcastic American chick with a bastard for a boyfriend, reveals to her the hidden nature which is her birthright. What follows is an extraordinary adventure in the heart of a contemporary American city. Ame is both intrigued and conflicted by the violent practices her people employ, to survive a culture of fear. What choice does she have? There is no going back! The alchemy is in her blood. Some will live to tell. Others must die.
