As Filipino vampires known as manananggal, Lily and her brother Caleb understand the value of a secret. After all, to hide is to survive. To lie is to live. They'd never harm another person, but people only believe their worst fears around creatures of myth. So, the siblings stay quiet. They follow their community's rules. Until a monster hunter turns up and kills a fellow manananggal anyway. Until Caleb is marked as the hunter's next prey. Suddenly, he and Lily realize there's always been more at stake than the lives of their people. Because when doing everything 'right' is still a death sentence, what can they take as truth? As the hunter nears, the siblings must decide if they'll be driven from the only home they've ever known - or fight to protect a community that may already be lost.
