For thousands of years, men have been searching for the fabled "Silver Stones," which are said to give the holder the power over death and reality itself. But when fourteen year old Nicole Perkins is touched (and thereby poisoned) by a wraith, she and a couple of friends must find those elusive artifacts. In less than a month, Nicole may become one of those dark creatures. Their quest must succeed; for if they fail, not only their friend, but the world may be at risk.
