Age range 14 to 18Three characters with their own agendas converge in a town filled with mediums, where most residents make their living speaking to the dead. . . and there' s no such thing as resting in peace. Russ Griffin has always wanted to be a fantastic medium. Growing up in the town of St. Hilaire, where most residents make their living by speaking to the dead, means there' s a lot of competition, and he' s always held his own. But Russ knows the town he loves is corrupt, and he' s determined to save it before the sinister ruling body, The Guild, ruins all he' s ever wanted. Willow Rogers is St. Hilaire royalty. An orphan, raised by The Guild, she' s powerful and mysterious. But she has secrets that might change everyone' s fate. She' s done with St. Hilaire, done with helping spirits move on. She wants to end the cycle for good and rid the town of ghosts, even if that means destroying the only home she' s ever known. Asher Mullen lost his sister, and his parents can' t get over her death. They sought answers in St. Hilaire and were turned away. Now they want revenge. Asher is tasked with infiltrating the town, and he does that by getting to know Russ. The only problem is, he might be falling for him, which will make betraying him that much harder. Russ, Willow, and Asher all have their own agendas for St. Hilaire, but one thing' s for certain, no one will be resting in peace.
