Somewhere in the wilds of Virginia is a town completely covered in Willows. It's not like every tree is a Willow, but it seems like you see one every 100 ft. It's a pretty normal historical small town. 35 families, Founder Homes, a parade every homecoming, holiday, and festival. Town pride is a must, the local "church" is the real authority in town, and the local families can be traced back generations. In such a town barrels in Dani Avelle.
At 13 years old she developed something the Willow calls the Gift. Hers was the amazing ability to be randomly assaulted by memories from every person, place or thing she comes in contact with, along with the ability to channel people who were also from one of the towns founding families. 10 years later, with her best friend, her best friends boyfriend, and her little sister she learns that no, it wasn't all in her head, its an actual thing in a real place with people who actually lived, and that if she leaves the "safety" of the town she'll have only a few months to live.
Stuck in a super modern but also ancient town, reevaluating positions and relationships, and just trying to be a freshly graduated entrepreneur, its a lot, but when the information the Willow gives out and the information she gets from her Gift don't match, Dani will need to decide just how far she wants to get into the Willow. Add in the new unexpected challenge of a new group dynamic and you have yourself an interesting first year in Nevermore.
