He wants to know the past. She wants to forget the future. They both could die trying.
17-year-old Zach is breaking a promise. After ten years in hiding, he has returned to his wealthy hometown and a way of life that cost his parents their lives. But the local obsession with secrecy frustrates his search for belonging and answers.
Ashley has spent much of her 15 years tortured by troubling visions of the future. Fresh from another trip to the psych ward, she plans to follow the rules and be a normal American teenager. When a high-achieving teen commits suicide, though, she agrees to help Zach investigate the sinister force influencing their lives.
Determined to expose the town's corruption, they penetrate its forbidden stronghold and discover a terrifying truth-an ages-old program of teen exploitation linked to Ancient Greece and the Oracle at Delphi.
Faced with a legacy that threatens to consume their entire lives, Zach and Ashley try to run for freedom. But the League of Delphi's investment in her prophetic gift is not so easily escaped. They're about to learn how far the League will go to keep two rogue teens from exposing their secrets to the world.
