The morning after, Mara has to walk out of her room into a school that now knows exactly what she is. The corridors empty as she passes. The dining hall goes silent the second she enters. Yesterday she was invisible; today she's the thing three hundred people are afraid of — and she did nothing to deserve either. Then one person crosses the silent hall and sits down across from her like it's the most normal thing in the world: Senna, the first friend, the only one who isn't afraid. For one warm moment, Mara isn't alone. Until she looks across the hall — and sees the man who hunted her, sitting calmly among the students, watching. And no one else can see him.

Shaken by a threat only she can see, Mara does the last thing she wants to do: she goes looking for Caelen, the one person who knows what's happening to her. But before she can reach him, she overhears him — and learns he's been lying about far more than she knew. He didn't notice her on her first day. He flagged her file weeks before she ever arrived. She wasn't admitted to this school. She was brought here. And as the truth detonates between them, the lights die all at once — and a voice rises from the dark to tell her exactly who put her name on the list.
