"YA novels often blend youthful angst with supernatural fantasy. Kelley Connor does that too ... but she does it well. I couldn't stop reading. And I'm ready for a sequel."
- Rosemary Mason

Cory Fall was a child model, sought after for her teal-colored eyes and infectious smile. At age eight her world imploded. She stopped speaking, stopped trying, and let everyone else make decisions for her. By sixteen, her looks were well hidden by layers of heavy Goth makeup and ill-fitting black clothes. She had everything she thought she wanted; nobody expected much from her, and she was left alone to focus on her art. However, tragedy struck, forcing her to live with an aunt she barely remembered. Little by little, Cory begins to speak for herself and soon learns she has a supernatural gift where everything she says becomes the truth. There are responsibilities and risks that come with her ability. Cory must decide to accept them as part of the family legacy or reject everything for the independence she now craves.
