In this village, a deadly curse has ensnared its residents for centuries. After a resident turns 20, they will turn into a demon. One borne of their greatest vices. But it isn’t immediate. Some wait days. Some decades. But the curse comes for all.
Caligo is a week away from her twentieth birthday. Her mothers have trapped her in an abusive household her entire life. But all of a sudden, she is freed. But her freedom isn’t without reason. Not every demon looks the part, and her parents…they haven’t been human for a long while.
As she ventures out into the village she’s lived in, but never known, Caligo grapples with making friends, learning how to trust, fighting against demons both real and not, grappling with the horrifying reality that soon she, too, could turn, and that perhaps her mothers’ monstrousness runs deeper than she could’ve ever imagined. And through it all, she may be the only one with the knowledge to stop them.
