Yellow Springs, Ohio has always been an ordinary town-small, quiet, and easy to forget. That changes the summer Lachlan Calloway vanishes without a trace. For weeks, his best friend Cassi-Anne clings to fading hope, until one night, Lachlan suddenly returns. Alive. Whole. But with no memory of where he's been or what happened to him.

At first, the town hails his reappearance as a miracle. Yet Cassi-Anne can't ignore the way he's different-how his presence unsettles her, how his charm cuts sharper than before, how he seems to draw people too close, too fast. Then the killings begin. Neighbors, classmates, people they've known their whole lives-found dead, their bodies marked by something unexplainable.

Determined to uncover the truth, Cassi-Anne and Lachlan search for answers together, even as whispers spread that Lachlan himself may be to blame. The deeper they dig, the more undeniable the pull between them becomes-a love long buried beneath years of friendship. But with every body that falls, Cassi-Anne begins to fear the truth: the boy she's falling for might not be the same boy she lost.

And if they can't uncover what happened while Lachlan disappeared, Cassi-Anne may have to choose between saving the town... and saving the boy who's already slipping away. All Lachlan hopes, however, is that Cassi-Anne doesn't leave at dawn.
