Synopsis
Two years ago Brenna did the
unthinkable. She witnessed the aftermath of a murder and accused her only true
friend – the first boy she ever loved – of being a killer.
Now sixteen, Brenna returns to Oklahoma only
to discover that Issac ‘White Bird’ Henry isn’t in juvie. The half-breed
outcast is in a mental hospital, frozen in time, locked in his mind at the
worst moment of his life. When Brenna touches him, she’s pulled into his
hellish vision quest, seeing terrifying demons and illusions she doesn’t understand.
Feeling isolated and alone, Brenna’s up
against the whole town: targeted by bullying former classmates, a bigoted small
town sheriff and a tribe who refuses to help one of their own.
But when Brenna realises she’s as trapped by
the past as White Bird is, this time she won’t turn her back on him. She’s the
only one who can free them both. Even if she has to expose her secret – a
‘gift’ she’s kept hidden her whole life.
