Mara Everhart never meant to find magic-especially not in a rusted lantern hidden beneath her family's crumbling house.
Toby Alder sees things before they happen. Ezra Finch hears whispers no one else can. And Lysander Vale... well, no one's quite sure what he knows. Not even him.
They didn't mean to become a group. In public, they barely speak. At school, there are arguments, tension, and far too many secrets. But something strange is happening in the quiet town of Everwood-something dark. And the lanterns are waking up.
As whispers of power grow louder, and shadows from the past begin to rise, the four are drawn into a mystery older than the town itself.
But when one of them is taken, everything changes.
Friendship will be tested.
Truths will be unearthed.
And fire, storm, echo, and insight may not be enough to stop what's coming.
