Violet Miller has always known she was different. Her very first memories were full of swirling colors instead of music, and then of having to suppress that knowledge. Only her family could be trusted with her secret—until the day he arrived.

From the moment Dane McWilliams set eyes on Vi, he knew she was special. Scared, alone, and only seven years old, he lost himself in her deep blue eyes and finally knew safety. For eleven years she was his heart, his home, and on the day he left for basic training he started counting the days until he could return to her.

And then his letters went unanswered.

It's been seven years since Vi last set eyes on Dane. Seven years of avoidance and heartache. She's no longer the girl he left behind—she's all grown up and has returned to Fairfield Corners with a fiancé in tow. Resigned to a lackluster friendship, Dane's hopes and dreams are shattered. But when an ancient evil returns to wreak havoc on their lives, the truth of Vi's ability is revealed, and with it, the realization that her powers are not the only thing she's kept hidden from Dane.
