\* Description - For Victoria Aldrich, death is everywhere. Cursed with powerful visions, she foresees the death of everyone she touches. Until she meets Spencer Manning. When Victoria touches this strange new boy she sees nothing but blinding light. But sometimes the brightest lights cast the darkest shadows. As Victoria tries to understand why Spencer’s death is hidden from her, she also begins to glimpse a shadowy figure lurking around town—a boy that no one else seems to see. The deeper Victoria pries into Hazel Grove's new inhabitants, the more she discovers their connection to her curse, and how she must use it to stop a fate worse than death.

Using the strength of a relationship she had never thought possible, Victoria tries to come to terms with her cursed existence as an Ani'mari. But finding balance between what's normal and what's not proves difficult when you are surrounded by death. The Ephemeral Scroll has been taken, and with it, the Neco'mortis have vanished from Hazel Grove. Tori's Mentor prepares for the worst as he urges her to set aside her old life and embrace her destiny. As she struggles to hold on to the remnants of her humanity, she begins to unravel a history that she never wanted to know—a darkness she wished never existed.
