Being born in 1582, Emma thought that in the past four hundred years she had seen everything, and that nothing could surprise her. That is, until she comes across the body of Lucy Bennett, a young, beautiful, and mysterious dead girl with a strange mark burned on her body, a gunshot wound to the heart, and strangely enough, missing pupils. As Emma investigates further, she realizes that this girl may be more important than she had originally thought, and decides it is time to go back in time not only to change the woman's fate, but to figure why she was killed in the first place.
After surviving a tragic accident that took her father's life, sixteen-year-old Emma is forced to move to a quiet little town with her grieving mother. The town is picture-perfect-too perfect. But beneath the surface, something is deeply wrong.
Their new house is unsettling. The air feels cold. The nights are too quiet. And Emma can't shake the feeling that something-or someone-is watching her.
Her mother, once grieving, is suddenly... too happy. The townspeople are welcoming-too welcoming. And the house? It whispers to her. Tells her things she shouldn't know. But no one will listen.
As Emma unravels the town's secrets, she realizes she was never meant to leave. And if she doesn't escape soon, she might not be Emma anymore.
