Ryder Owens thought she was exactly where she always wanted to be: Evermore Academy. Her new home was supposed to be the last one, the right one, but everything about it is wrong and there's one reason for that: Her trouble-making twin sister, Piper, has abandoned her. After an unfulfilled prophecy, her headmistress trying to kill her, and her sister's choice to become one of the undead, Ryder just wants everything to go back to normal. She should know by now that nothing is ever normal for telepathic twins, because someone in the school is bound and determined to fulfill the prophecy where the Goddess Ishtar will rise again and wreak death and destruction on the world. The only way to fulfill said prophecy: Ryder's life.
