When it comes to knowing what people want from her, Carlyle Diaz's instincts are always right. But she's never had to figure out what a place wants from her. Yet she can feel the old house, the one she calls the "Fairy House," drawing her in. It's unreachable, because it's surrounded by a wall with a permanently locked gate, but like something out of a fairy tale, it's calling to her. Which can't be real... Right?

Things get even stranger when Lyse discovers that the house is invisible to others, except for David, the new guy on the track team, who can see it too. And what he sees terrifies him.

David isn't normal—and it seems as though Lyse isn't ordinary either. Unfortunately, their burgeoning abilities begin to draw attention from dangerous people, and David might be the only person she can trust as she discovers that the people around her have been keeping frightening secrets.

Trapped between new friends and old loyalties, Lyse must find out what's beyond the locked gate before it's too late.
