What if we lived in a world where tattoos just randomly appeared on our skin, and we had to figure out what they meant for ourselves? Payton King lives in that world, although her first tattoo has yet to appear. But then her brother ends up missing, the next day found dead. The day after, his death date is inked on the back of her neck. More deaths come up on the news, more dates end up on the back of Payton's neck. But what is she supposed to do? What can she do? And then a new date is added, one that gave her so much more time than the others. With a new found compass, Payton sets out on a journey, hoping to get to the person before their deadline arrives. Along the way she finds herself with a new beginning, hope, power, strength and maybe, just maybe, her soulmate.

In a world where soulmates wear tattoos that mark their biggest life events, 15-year-old Nico's ink tells a tragic story. After a car accident takes his mom and sister, Bianca, his dad spirals into darkness, using violence as a way to cope. To escape the pain, Nico turns to damaging his own body to cope, using anything he can find to numb the hurt. He tries to be strong for his little sister, Hazel, but as the chaos at home escalates, he feels himself slipping further away. Then there's Will, 16 and a light in the darkness. His tattoo shines with hope, and he feels an unexplainable connection to Nico. Will sees the signs of Nico's struggles and wants to help, but Nico is terrified of letting anyone in after everything he's been through. When a moment of desperation leads Nico to confront his father in a deadly struggle, he's left free but drowning in guilt and isolation. Hazel moves to California to escape the pain, and Nico is left to navigate the mess of his life alone. As Nico and Will begin to forge a connection, Nico realizes that healing is possible-even when it feels like the world is against him.
