She hopes to keep her son safe, all the while grappling with the question: is he a monster? She goes on the run with her son, navigating dangers and various groups who want to find her and use her. She doesn’t know any other way, but when she gives birth to a rare type of eater, one who hungers for human minds instead of books, she has to reevaluate her life. Being a girl, rare among her kind, she is considered important, though her options are limited-grow up, get married, and have more book eater children. She is one of the book eaters, beings who consume books as food. In The Book Eaters, Devon has led a sheltered but pampered life in her family estate.
