  • "The main lesson Luce had leaned was that you couldn¡t count on anybody. In the lonesome beauty of the forest, across the far shore of the mountain lake from town, Luce acts as caretaker to an empty, decaying Lodge, a relic of holidaymakers a century before. Her days are long and peaceful, her nights filled with Nashville radio and yellow lights shummering on the black water. A solitary life, and the perfect escape. Until the stranger children come. Bringing fire. And murder. And love."
