At last the road brings him to Silverfish, a cursed village whose future has been stolen. His search will lead him to the horror at the heart of Silverfish's tragedy — and the truth behind his brother's fate.

Liadain, a girl born terminally ill, has only ever wanted to live — forever, if at all possible. Instead, shortly after her thirteenth birthday, she is consigned to spend her last months in hospice care. Until the night she encounters a monster more terrifying than death, and her savior offers her a chance at her impossible dream. A chance to become a Keeper — one of the chosen children whose magic serves as humanity's sole defense against Harbingers, living nightmares that devour dreams, passions, and souls. Those who consume enough Harbingers grow into something more than human, able to change themselves in nearly any way they wish. So Liadain throws herself into this new life, hoping against hope to save herself. But magic is foremost an expression of the soul. Shaped by her cold bitterness, her power grants dominion over sickness, death, and ill-fate — forcing her to wield the very things she hates most as weapons. And as she delves deeper into the minds of Harbingers, she can't help but wonder if their hunger is really so different from her own.

The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place — until life happened and changed it forever, even if only a teeny-tiny bit. Perspective, as it turns out, is everything. Magh'rathlak the Observer is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality. Average as far as reality-warping entities go, it still struggles to keep things in perspective. To narrow its maddening vastness, it decides to compress its entire being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all — how hard could being human possibly be?
