Magic never stays dead...Tessara Knox can read minds, but sometimes the pain is so excruciating that she would do anything to stop it, even end her own life. Then, on top of it all, she is forced to move to a new town. It's in Salem, Utah that Tessa meets some new people who curiously seem to have powers of their own. When a boy from school goes missing, all fingers point to Tessa. Feeling a strong connection to a boy she only met once, Tessa makes it her job to find him, or at the very least what happened to him—even if it means the end of her life.

Tessara Knox. With my mind-reading abilities, relocating is already excruciating, but when a mysterious shadow starts stalking me, I know I’m not safe here either. He is evil. You must not trust him. It will cost you your life. Everleigh Nite. Left with a broken heart, I find myself being drawn to someone new. But being close to him puts him at great risk. The Hunters will find us again, and this time, we’ll be ready.

Tessara Knox has had a hard life: both of her parents are gone, the only immediate family she has left is a sister she would die for, and since she was little she has been able to read minds. The advantages this gives her always leaves her wondering if the constant pain radiating through her head is worth it. Sometimes the pain is so excruciating that she would do anything to stop it, even end her own life. With all of this riding on her young shoulders, moving to a new town is the last thing she had in mind.

Even that seems insignificant when a boy from school goes missing, and all fingers point to Tessa. Feeling a strong connection to a boy she only met once, Tessa makes it her job to find him—or at the very least, what happened to him.
