Leighanna Groeman prefers to go by Elle, but there aren't many people she lets close enough to know that. Haunted by eerie hallucinations and a past unknown to her, Elle just tries to get by. When all she's done is try to stay out of the way, invisible, life has other plans for her. 

Her one school friend, Lanni, is not quite who she thinks he is, and the person who takes care of her when she escapes her father's wrath could be so much more if she just admitted it. Although she's used to going it alone, the help of the two most important people in her life are the reason she survives the threat of a supernatural creature that wants to bring its darkness into the world.

Elle's tortured upbringing is expressed through her present thought and hidden trauma. She encounters her past and eventually the past of her family to understand the extent of her enemy's power and how she has no choice but to stop him from causing similar pain to anyone else.

Elle Groeman has to save the world, and she just might save herself in the process.
