For generations, the women of Blackwood Creek have suffered a strange curse: a grotesque pregnancy that never yields a child. Raised in sterile isolation by her brilliant scientist mother, Anna Reed believes she is safe. But on the eve of her twentieth birthday, a shocking discovery proves the family affliction is her birthright. Her desperate search for a cure unearths a century-old plot of vengeance, a captive mother she never knew, and a horrifying truth: she is not just the next victim, but the final experiment.
