NEW2YA: Indy Edition – June 2017

Unlikely the magic of Lena May Hill
Date of Issuance: June 20, 2017

Devilted by the sudden death of her father, Stella hardly protests to live in a secluded forest camp with her mother she never knew. After arrival, things go from bad to straightforward. Everyone in the cult community looks at her as she is a mutant, including the two sisters that her father failed to mention in fourteen years, and her mother immediately locks her in the ceiling. Her only satellites are a mouse and fantasies to be friends with her own sisters.

Desperately lonely, Stella watches from the window as her family leaves overnight every month to attend mysterious “lunar meetings.” As they went to one of these meetings, Stella avoids the attic, just to find out why her mother kept her locked after her arrival – the whole community is made up of werewolves. Intensively protected from their confidentiality, they would do anything to keep their secret from outsiders … outsiders like Stella.
