"Some secrets are buried in stone. Some are buried in blood." Dr. Lily McMaster buries her face in her hands. She has to keep it together-her best friend's life may depend on it. Rachel, her closest friend, has been admitted to the psychiatric unit, tormented by terrifying hallucinations: a mysterious light and the Hound. Now, Rachel is strapped down, her mind slipping further from reach. Desperate for answers, Lily scours the internet for any clue to Rachel's visions. She stumbles upon a decades-old article: a burning cabin, a dead forest, a circle of bloodstone boulders-four people killed. In the accompanying photo, a young girl's pale-blue eyes and freckled cheekbones look eerily familiar. The girl is listed as dead, but Lily can't shake the feeling she's looking at herself. Determined to uncover the truth, Lily travels to the remote town from the article, where she meets Gavin-a scarred, imposing figure set to guide her to the site. Tension simmers between them, and haunted by memories of her turbulent childhood in foster care, Lily wonders if she's better off braving the journey alone. As a violent storm erupts, ancient forces awaken. The secretive Council senses the Awakener drawing near the bloodstone circle-and Lily finds herself at the heart of a mystery that could unravel everything she thought she knew.
