Since the death of her twin sister, Charlie has drifted through life - the flame that once burned so brightly within her has all but dimmed.
Now, she just wants to survive junior year.
But, when a classmate goes missing in the forest, leaving nothing but strange symbols carved into a tree, Charlie feels compelled to get to the bottom of the mystery immediately.
Then the alluring newcomer, Elia Everhart, crosses her path with his piercing eyes, sharp wit and undeniable allure. She finds herself overcome with curiosity . . . and suspicion.
Because Elias clearly has a secret that could hold the answers to finding her classmate.
And what Charlie doesn't know is that this secret will lead her to a place that's been hiding in plain sight, seeping with Norse gods, monsters and dangerous magic - and a first love fated to fall apart.
All of which is more connected to Charlie than she could have ever expected.
Truths and temptations lurk in this worlds darkness, and for Charlie, the only thing more dangerous than facing her past is the boy with the power to change her future.
