When Harbor bumps into Keyne, literally, she doesn't remember him. But he never forgot her. Busy with family and social dogma, Harbor doesn’t have time for much else, yet Keyne has a way of capturing attention…and not just hers. He isn’t an ordinary “new” kid. He is different. Strong and confident in a way that turns hectic days calm.

Still, Harbor stays busy and from the drive-thru window where she works, she notices customers and co-workers keep eerily strange patterns. It isn’t long before Harbor and Keyne are reeled into a sinister race that unlocks a mystery connected not only to her dad's murder & her mom’s disappearance but to an ancient legend that links us all.
