When the cocoon becomes too tight, the next step is EMERGENCE.

Fauna Young owns a small computer repair shop. She lives in a townhouse downtown. She loves to dance with her two best friends in city clubs. From the outside, Fauna's life looks like any other young professional's in bustling Houston.

On the inside, Fauna hides a secret. She can read people's emotions as well as intense memories impressed on everyday objects. She calls it her curse, and she's never found anyone else like her.

Until Fauna uncovers a statue pieced together with multiple impressions. Hopeful that she's finally found someone like her, Fauna tracks down the artist only to find his mutilated corpse.

With a serial killer on the loose targeting people like her, Fauna might have ended her solidarity only to cut her life short. Now she must work with a skeptical homicide detective to catch the mad man before she becomes the next victim.
