Seraphina is a young girl of 15 who goes to a normal school and has normal friends. Or so she thought. As her 16 birthday draws near she finds herself drawing away from her friends and family. She is getting into fights and breaking off friendships that she's had for years. When questioned by the authorities after putting a fellow student in the hospital she tries telling them about the Whispers she's been hearing but no one will listen. No one but a boy who has an important role in her past.
