The stories the elders told us were more than old tales. It turns out they were true.

My sister Tamara and I have been protected from our family's secrets. But not anymore. Strange things happen in our family, but no one has come forward to speak on the supernatural existence surrounding us, like the woman in white who walks down the halls of my Gran's house, or the way cabinets open and close in the kitchen when a member of our family passes on.

Half of our clan turn a blind eye to their connection from beyond out of fear, and have never shared their gifts and mysterious capabilities until now.

The death of my grandfather, Jon Sherman, sparks a conversation for us to share what we didn't know about each other, and resurrects the family's powers. But only to those of us that are brave enough to face what lurks in the shadows.

I am Vanya Sherman. And I am not afraid.
