Though possessing a high IQ, young Grace Bond has no answers for the daytime concerns with which she is struggling. Otherworldly dreams and visions haunt her waking hours without explanation. The startling news of her pregnancy, despite never having been with a man, complicates a life already in flux. The death of Grace's parents, whose bodies remain missing, was shocking enough. Now, the pregnancy brings with it more questions and concerns. Stressed to the max, the young woman has problems far greater than shouldered by most. A scent of Candidum lilies, both fresh and decaying, wafting from Grace's lily fields, triggers visions and apparitions of creatures. Are these nightmares of creatures from outer space, something even more sinister, or a psyche cracking in response to stress? When Grace appears to have died after childbirth, her genius child Corona is thrust into the schemes of the creatures she calls her Nighttime Family. Passing from their dimension to Corona's, foraging and observing, her Nighttime Family actively engages with chosen humans until they gain what they want. Hybrid humans are captured and eventually forced to drift to the Zero Point Field of matter, energy, and form. Corona enters the creatures' dimension which harbors friends, foes and much more, including advancements which at first, she envies. Whom can she trust? Through passing over to their domain, will Corona solve the mystery of her importance to them and the plans they have for her world? Corona and others learn that politics are not confined to the human realm only, nor are greed and oppression. She and two prodigy friends wander the creatures' space, without their approval, discovering secrets and sinister reasons for their wanting to contact this dimension and bring to its occupants
