Description
From the author of the Shadow Weaver duology comes a tale of secrets, power, magic, and the long path to home.
Simone is a mind-reader. She knows a great many things, but she can't seem to remember anything about her past. So when she gets the chance to search for her family, she sets off to finally find her home.
When she stumbles across a man with two minds inside him-the real one, shoved deep down, and one of a body walker, someone who can take over a person's body against their will-Simone is even more eager to leave her old life behind.
As Simone dives deeper into her history, she learns truths she never could have imagined. But as those she loves start disappearing around her, Simone knows only she can stop the evil, before it's too late.
