In the chaos of high school, Sierra thought her biggest challenges would be keeping her demanding parents happy and surviving the endless school drama. But everything changes when she discovers a bizarre and unsettling superpower: the ability to communicate with the dead. Not just any dead, though-animals. The food on her plate, roadkill on the street, even long-forgotten remains.
At first, it seems useless, a cruel joke by the gods. But as Sierra delves deeper into the strange, eerie mysteries surrounding her life, she realizes her so-called gift is just the beginning. Old family secrets start to unravel, and it becomes clear her parents have been hiding more than she ever imagined. Even worse, she's not as alone in her curse as she thought. Others like her exist, people she never expected, hiding powers.
With high school drama colliding with a supernatural world she barely understands, Sierra must untangle the threads of betrayal, fear, and hidden truths. Because in her world, even the dead have stories to tell, and some secrets refuse to stay buried. Her strange ability isn't the end of the mystery-it's only the start.
