Estella Paulson has lived her entire life in Dolborough, a small, foresty town in the middle of nowhere, but she dreams of so much more. Literally.

With worldly parents, it's a wonder she's never so much as crossed the town line into the outside world but when huge groups of strange, secretive people suddenly migrate into Dolborough, including a mysterious guy, things get a little clearer and a whole lot more complicated all at once.

With a deadly family secret, an odd romance and a mysterious foreign threat to juggle, Estella is sure that leaving Dolborough alive just isn't in the cards for her; her dreams of seeing the places she paints are dead.

But with a heart, soul and Mate that all belong outside the town line, how far will Estella go to join them?

"Stella, why are you so scared?" he brushed his hand over my cheek, smudging a blob of wet paint into a dribbling tear.

I sobbed harder. "I'm staring at my future... and it looks like my worst nightmare."
