What happens when you discover your whole life is a lie? Ellie Brookes is about to find out. Seventeen-year-old Ellie is a loner who struggles with social anxiety. She's always wanted to be different but after an accident involving a blow to the head, she gets a little more different than she bargained for. Melting objects with her mind, enhanced healing, and a weird light beneath her skin are just a few of the changes Ellie has to contend with. And then there's the arrival of the hot, yet mysterious, Colton Howes, who claims she's pulling him into her dreams. If all this isn’t enough to turn her boringly average life upside-down, then a girl who looks just like her, along with a plague of ominous shadows that can wound her with a single touch, will definitely do it. Ellie just wanted to be different, but is she ready to find out who...or what ...she really is?
