She matures with preternatural speed and Rachaela cant dispel the feeling that her daughter is Ruth reborn. But if Ruth wasnt evil, she was certainly dangerously unstable - a threat to all. Its difficult for a mother to connect with a child she feels isnt quite what she seems - or is far worse than she seems. But perhaps Anna doesnt have that streak of insanity, and its only Rachaelas fevered imagination. Perhaps shes nothing more than a bright, new member of the mysterious Scarabae family, (themselves something greater than mere human), who is an asset not a potential disaster.Annas parents and the other Scarabae arent aware that another member of the family has become aware of the girl - the father of them all, the almost mythical Cain, who lives apart from the world in a frozen wasteland, wheres hes constructed a bizarre reproduction of Ancient Egypt within a pyramid of ice He wants not only Anna, but other children he believes are reincarnations of people from the past - the earliest times of the family.
