Эти слова вытаскивают 17-летнюю Джесс Баллард из ночного кошмара в куда более ужасающую реальность. Жизнь Джесс никогда не была легкой, ведь детство с матерью-алкоголичкой не слишком-то похоже на сказочное. Но даже этот привычный мир развалился, когда ее мать умерла при загадочных обстоятельствах. Теперь Джесс вынуждена переехать к родственникам, которых никогда раньше не видела, и перевестись в новую школу. Вот только с некоторыми ее одноклассниками что-то не так. Они призраки. Вместе с Тиа, соседкой-неврастеничкой, и доктором Дэвидом Пирсом, охотником за привидениями, Джесс должна овладеть своим даром, помогающим общаться с миром…

Two sisters, haunted by more than their past... Just weeks after discovering each other’s existence, Jess and Hannah Ballard arrive at Fairhaven Hall, where they will learn the clandestine ways of the Durupinen, an ancient sect of women who control the Gateways between the worlds of the living and the dead. Though they are considered outcasts by most of their classmates, Jess and Hannah are determined to learn what they can to fulfill their responsibility to the many ghosts that haunt them. But danger, it seems, has followed them as closely as a shadow to their new home, and they have more questions than ever. Who is the desperate child spirit pursuing Jess, and what do her terrifying visions mean? What has happened to Dr. David Pierce, Jess’ friend and mentor, who has suddenly and mysteriously vanished? And just what is it about Hannah’s unique abilities that has the other Durupinen frightened of her? The Ballard sisters are about to find out, and the answers could destroy their newfound life before it has even begun.

A POWER TOO TERRIBLE TO CONTROL...

IN THE WAKE of their terrifying escape from Fairhaven Hall, sisters Jess and Hannah Ballard find themselves on the run, pursued by the two most powerful groups in the history of the spirit world. On one side, the Durupinen, determined to capture the girls and prevent their role in an ancient prophecy that promises to destroy them and unleash the spirit hordes on the earth. On the other side, the Necromancers, ancient enemies of the Durupinen, hellbent on bringing the same prophecy to fruition. When the girls are betrayed and one of them falls into the Necromancers’ hands, both face decisions with cataclysmic consequences.

Will the lure of power prove too great to resist, or will the bond between the sisters survive this last, most crucial of tests?
