If 15-year-old Ellie could be anything, she'd be someone else. Instead of a descendant of the only witch burned in Brighton's history, she'd be ordinary and unremarkable--not a tourist attraction, not the most hated girl in town, not the Old Guard's favorite target. With graduation two years away, she intends to keep her head down, draw no attention, and leave Brighton forever the moment she can.

At least that's the plan until her best friend gifts her a mysterious antique mirror. And when it shatters, so does everything Ellie has spent her life building.

Suddenly she's seeing things that haven't happened yet. Ghosts are whispering warnings she doesn't want to hear. And something is moving through Brighton's shadows, collecting power and leaving victims in its wake. With the supernatural chaos circling ever closer, Ellie faces a choice: embrace her heritage and become everything she's fought against, or refuse and watch the people she loves pay the price.

In a town built on witch hunting, some secrets are worth dying for. And some come with a price too terrible to pay.
