Eleven-year-old Jamie Foster, has never been normal, and doesn't fit in. She knows that she was adopted... but from whom, and where? Because her father loses his job, and she and her family are forced to move to San Diego, everything changes. They move into a small townhouse, with a cranky old man, who smells like feet, as a neighbour. When the man, who introduces himself as Mr. Forkle, tells her the strangest story, of what happened to the girl who used to live in the house, she wonders if maybe, just maybe, there was a reason that her parents chose this house, or was it all just a coincidence? When Mr. Forkle disappears, and a sweet woman by the name of Ms. Gisela, moves in, she has to pick sides. Now, fitting in, and finding her missing origin isn't her biggest problem, it's staying alive.

She finds herself facing two powerful brothers that have become her enemies. Still weak from being poisoned and not having enough time to recover, Sophie only has ever so faithful Myth by her side. She finds herself not living, but fighting to survive. As the Neverseen slowly break her will to fight, she knows she can only survive so long before her spirit shatters.
