Meridian


Meridian has always wondered why small animals seek her out right before they die. It is something her parents have certainly never explained to her, something that doesn't happen to her brother, something that has given her a "freak" status at school.

As her sixteenth birthday approaches, Meridian notices that things start getting stranger and stranger. When she comes home from school that day, she witnesses a horrific accident. Worst of all, the accident was supposed to involve Meridian herself...only she survived.

Her parents pack her up and send her to live with Auntie. They leave her with only cryptic messages about her destiny and they tell her that they hope to see her again someday, but not to come back to the house - they won't be there.

Hurt and confused, Meridian finds herself on a bus headed to her Aunt's house...not at all what she pictured for her 16th b-day.

Auntie has a few things to tell Meridian, however.
She isn't just a sixteen year old girl.
She is a Fenestra.
She has a job to do.
