After the colloquially named "Dragonscale" infects nurse Harper Willows, she is forced to hide from the uninfected. Unfortunately Harper is also pregnant, her husband has gone crazy, and she is less and less able to stay hidden in her own home.

Fearing for her safety after a scary attack by her now ex, Harper is rescued by a kid, a teenager, and a British fireman who take her to seeming safety at Camp Windham. Here Harper becomes part of the community, learns how to control her dragonscale, and finds out the scary truth of human nature.

Utterly compelling and amazingly narrated by Kate Mulgrew, I was captivated for the entire story. A very long audiobook, but totally worth the time.
