"I want to scream and cry and curl up into a ball. What I want most of all is my life back, just my normal, ordinary life with Aunt and the cottage and the nice quiet graveyard."
Fifteen-year-old British ex-pat Sammi Keen spends most of her free time reading books in the graveyard behind her aunt's cottage and avoiding other kids. But when she comes home to find the cottage ransacked and her aunt missing, Sammi has to learn to trust some new friends, and her own newly discovered abilities, fast. Because time is running out for her aunt, and as she soon learns, maybe a few billion other people.
