Bethany Lovell has struggled to fit in her whole life. Between her over-bearing parents and her odd behaviour, she has always felt like she was on the outside. That is until Avondale's popular clique kidnap her for a surprise birthday party to celebrate her sweet sixteen. What they don't realise is that Bethany is now the target of the urban legend known as 'Thorn' and tonight he has returned for her and nothing will stand in his way, as the Bloodletting Behemoth cuts his way through the small town in search of his latest victim and only one person can stop him.
