Riley Sorrow just wants to be a normal kid, but to escape his father, he accepts an invitation to the school of Dimension Hopping. With his own personal problems, and the school falling apart, he faces fear itself. The fear of hurting a friend, and the fear of the monster your own mind made.
Willow's a Byron and they aren't just your average family. Not just because there are so many of them, but because they have secrets and traditions far outside the norm. Like spending as much time outside as in, and doing everything to keep rumours about any of them from surfacing.
But when Willow meets the transfer student, Rune, she finds a kindred spirit. He's just as cynical and just as alone as she is and it isn't long before they become friends. The only problem is that Rune's a rumour magnet and wannabe reporter.
With a family curse that's getting harder to hide by the day, Willow finds herself caught between family and friendship.
