Every night, she dies. Every morning, something follows her back.
Sixteen-year-old Selene Vellacourt has spent most of her life running. New towns. New schools. New reasons for her mother to pack their belongings and disappear before morning.
But there's one thing they can never leave behind.
Every night, Selene dreams of a field filled with black flowers. She's wearing a beautiful black dress. A bell rings. Someone whispers her name.
And then she dies.
When she and her mother arrive in Seattle, the nightmares begin slipping into reality. Mirrors shatter without warning. People disappear. Strange voices whisper from empty rooms. And a mysterious man seems to be watching her from places he couldn't possibly be.
As Selene struggles to survive her new school and uncover the truth about her family's past, she discovers that something ancient has been hunting people like her for centuries.
Something that has been waiting patiently for her to grow up.
And this time, running may not be enough.
Because the man in her nightmares is real.
And he knows exactly when she's going to die.
