Seventeen year old Wilder Ansley is being followed. By who? He hasn't got a clue. By people and creatures no one else can see. That's a good enough place to start.

​

To make matters worse, he's also able to do things that make no sense at all - like unintentionally setting fire to his foster brother's bed. Without the help of a lighter or matches.

​

Wilder prides himself that recently, aside from a few unfortunate incidents, he's been able to keep whatever happens when he loses his cool mostly under control. That is until a freak lightning storm alerts the mysterious New Orleans Council to his whereabouts.

​

And his burgeoning abilities.

​

Within hours, Wilder is thrown headfirst into a whole new world, hidden behind a Shroud, and it feels more like home than he cares to admit. Despite his initial hesitations, Wilder finds friendship, and maybe something more, among these new strangers. But it turns out uncovering his place in the Eadar might be harder than he thought. Wilder must force himself to face the truth about who everyone else believes him to be-all while a decades long war escalates within and beyond the Shroud, threatening not only the Eadar and his new found friends, but the human world he's left behind.
