She only wanted to speak to her dead father. She may have awakened something far worse. Seventeen-year-old Paloma is drowning in grief. Desperate for one last connection, she turns to the paranormal-convinced a s ance might let her hear her father's voice again. Instead, it pulls her somewhere else. Hidden deep in the sweltering rainforests of 1970s Puerto Rico lies an isolated convent-beautiful, decaying, and full of secrets. There, Paloma is drawn into the orbit of a strange, tight-knit group of girls who seem to know more than they should... about her... about the past. And about the thing she has awakened. As whispers turn into visions and reality begins to fracture, she can't tell what's real anymore- the ghost that follows her... the girls who watch her... or the growing fear that her grief is unraveling her mind. But something inside the convent is very real. And it wants her. To uncover the truth, Paloma must confront the darkness she unleashed-before it consumes her completely. A haunting YA gothic thriller perfect for fans of dark academia, psychological suspense, and supernatural mysteries-where grief, obsession, and the unknown collide.
