Hudson was on the ground, bleeding out. Anita, my sister, was still gone. Bodies surrounded me in a bloody mess. My powers, volatile and unpredictable, were far from being under control. I couldn't even manage my own emotions around Hudson, and now that failure carried a heart-wrenching price. But it gets worse, everywhere I turn there are more secrets… My own father had been a part of the Lunar Shadow Society all along, the very society that had taken Anita away.

As I stand amidst the wreckage of my life, I must uncover the truth, unearth my family's dark secrets, and master my volatile powers. But time is ticking, the shadows are closing in, and Anita's clock is running out. Can I piece together my shattered world before it's too late?
