Annotation:
Mary is a orphan left on her own in a village that is surrounded by a forest that is filled with the Unconsecrated, the undead who constantly crave human flesh.

Book Talk:
When the walls of her isolated town are breached by the Fast One, an Unconsecrated that is faster, stronger, and more relentless than any other of its kind, Mary is forced to flee her village with a small group of friends and family. They do not know where to go, but are guided by Mary and the stories her mother told her of the ocean and other human civilizations. Constantly on the run, Mary learns about life, love, sacrifice and death. Will she ever discover if the stories about the ocean are true? Or, will her dreams endanger the lives of the people around her, including her true love?
