[UNEDITED AND TO BE REMOVED DECEMBER 31st, 2025] *** After moving to Connecticut to room with her best friend for the summer, Chastity Blake doesn't know what to think of the charm bracelet she finds, caught under the floorboards in her new bedroom; with the initials D.K. engraved into it. But ignoring the bracelet's origins isn't an option when she begins to live out strange scenarios as a young woman named Delilah. And when these scenarios start cutting too close to reality, she can't help but suspect they're memories. She quickly realizes though they're not her memories. They're Delilah Kim's memories -- a girl who was believed to have committed her family's murder, then suicide. But her memories tell a different story other than what everyone else in town seems to know. And it's up to Chastity to place the missing pieces of the puzzle together.

Those who expose themselves to the Fog for over an hour begin to change. Most devolve into mindless, bloodthirsty creatures known as Fog Crawlers. Some remain human. The others, the mostly-extinct Morphs, develop supernatural abilities and a scent that draws Crawlers from miles away. Arden lives in one of the last standing high schools in North America. She is one of the lucky ones who didn't change. Or so she thought. Arden finds herself possessing abilities she never thought possible. She'd find it exciting, if not for the meaning behind it: the meaning that she is a Morph, and her new scent, undetectable by humans, will draw Fog Crawlers to her from miles away. Government officers relocate her to a secret institution where she can privately develop her Morph abilities. But this institution is hiding secrets. Now Arden, along with her new friends and a mysterious boy at the institute, must find a way to escape. But time is ticking, and the institute won't let them go without a fight. Now, with her heart torn, a war brewing between the government and her friends, and a bloodthirsty world of Crawlers standing in the way of Arden's freedom, she doesn't know who to trust-if anyone at all.
