Ruby has been called a soul-stealing ginger more times than she cares to count, but the taunt always brings the fear: do they know? Sure, she would never take an entire soul, but the threads which bind them are just ripe for the picking, and Ruby can never resist adding to her collection. When she stops a stranger from stealing her best friend's soul, Rubby worries her secret will finally be exposed. Instead, she finds herself pulled into a cult-like organization whose origins are shrouded in folklore, and whose subjects are under the thumb of a mysterious leader. But when she's forced to do the one thing she swore never to do, Ruby finds herself in a race against time to recover the soul of the person she hates most. To succeed, she'll need to forget everything she once knew about redheads, herself and even her own family. More than one person is standing in her way, and more than one life is at stake.
