When seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York, sheโs trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the cityโs labyrinthine subway system. But thereโs something eerily beguiling about Valโs new friends that sets her on edge. When Val is talked into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature, she must strike a bargain to make it out with her life intact. Now drawn into a world she never knew existed, Val finds herself torn between her affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming.
