The Elders told of a flaming star falling from the heavens into the vast freshwater sea. With its coming, the tribe warriors discover two young girls, a gift from the lake god. Fragile and slow to age, the pair are venerated, growing up respected and cared for like royalty. In the wake of a hunting tragedy, one of the sisters receives strength by drinking human blood. She becomes a hunter of men. For thousands of years this ageless beauty travels the world, experiencing life as a warrior, a queen, a scholar. As the severity of her countless crimes presses down on her conscience, she reminisces about her life, from her first beginnings, to world wars, and to her one true love. She thinks herself alone in the world, believing her beloved sister to be dead, but when the pair reunite, Elizabeth is surprised by the changes in Miriam and in herself. She is unprepared to meet the perfect predator.
