A girl who invades your dreams and consumes your pain-even if she doesn't mean to, even if it kills her...
Kit Stitcher falls sick a lot.
But it's not just illness.
As a kid, she once revived a dying Christmas tree just by being near it. Then came the dreams-other people's dreams. Then the emotions-ones that weren't hers. And then the pain-pulled from people, animals, even plants.
She's never been able to explain it. But her mother knows more than she lets on.
On a quiet beach trip with her best friend Janna, Kit discovers something carved into a cliff: a stone archway. No markings. No door. Just an opening to something... else.
Stranger still-Kit seems to be the only one who can pass through it.
On the other side waits a world in dire need of help-and maybe, a reason for everything Kit has ever felt.
And far off in the cosmos, someone may be watching.
Or should be.
