The parents of Julianne are children facing a Creature who haunts and terrorizes the town's residents. Fires, missing children and destruction of the church have all caused great calamity. However, a lost medicine woman has been discovered in a wooded glen, and though rumors of her existence were always legend, her presence is a mystery. A young Sarah Woodlock holds the key to learning the medicine woman's knowledge. While Sarah has experienced much adversity and heartbreak, she wields a power greater than her own and leads her town to safety before the Creature can cause more harm.
