   Summary

   
   The world is unkind to the lost,
   Though wandering they may roam.
   Savage and cruel bites the frost,
   The hearth warms only the home.
   

   When creatures of shadow are taken from the lives and land they once knew, they must ask themselves: what makes a monster and what makes a man?
