When her mother died suddenly, Serena didn't expect to discover she had kept a secret from her. She was a little girl when her mother became a famous actress and gave her a key necklace.

But she didn't know that her mother had one last trick up her sleeve, one that might save her life. She's about to get introduced to the Aces, a paranormal entity more powerful than she could imagine.
But will it be enough to save her?
