Synopsis: A curse? A gift? A moment that changes everything . . .
Corrine was only reaching out to help her little sister when her touch brought a violent surge of indigo light. In an instant, Sophie was dead. Determined to hide her deadly curse, Corrine distances herself from the world, refusing to touch anyone she loves.
When her family moves to the mystical city of New Orleans, Corrine meets Rennick, a talented artist with a dangerous past. He opens her eyes to other possibilities and suggests there might be more to her gift. But after what happened to her sister, can Corrine trust Rennick? Can she trust herself?
The haunting New Orleans setting gives this suspenseful contemporary YA romance a unique twist.
