Nick Summerland traded in the hectic pace of Seattle for the familiar haunts of his hometown, Silvervale. He thought the move would dampen his curse: the ability to see life ticking away from those with less than a year to live. Instead of relief, he discovers one of the cursed death clocks hanging over his best friend. Nick learns Silvervale has its own secrets, including a beautiful, magic-wielding Medium who sees the same things he does, and a portal to an all-women’s college known as the Ghost Academy that might have the answers Nick needs.
