Unlike her twin sister, Lera Petre isn't too happy when her family moves back to Clearford, the home they left behind years ago. Very soon, rumours begin sweeping the town: strange deaths have been occurring with only one common detail - Atlas Sinclair's presence. With scars intertwining around his entire body, hardened dark eyes and a voice nobody had heard in almost a decade, the tragic story of Atlas is well known. Expecting him to end up as twisted as his father, everyone blames him for the recent deaths. Except for Lera. When her sister is brutally murdered and the only clue is Atlas, she enlists his help and the two teenagers embark on a mission to find out the truth. But as they are about to uncover, something far sinister than either of them can possibly imagine is prowling the town, killing off Clearfords' residents. Can they put together the fragments of a curse they barely understand before the time runs out? Will they understand why they feel as though they are never alone, with something unseen lurking in the air around them? But most importantly, can they find the hunter before they too become the prey?
