Allison Vain lives by one rule: never unpack. After five schools in three years, she knows better than to get attached. Her life is an endless loop of new towns and temporary offices, a perpetual "slow-motion earthquake" that makes friendships a liability. She’s eighteen months away from escaping her mother’s nomadic work and starting over—a clean slate. But on her first day at the latest high school, the routine shatters. The teacher sent to greet her, the impossibly stunning Mrs. Smith, gives her a chilling hug and whispers two impossible words: "You are home now." Then Allison looks into her eyes. They are the same unnatural, luminescent jade as her own. Allison thought she was running from a restless life. She might be running toward a destiny she never knew existed.
