The coldness starts in... It's not just any coldness. It's the kind that takes my breath away. It makes my body hairs stand at attention as the goose pimples form on my skin. A prickly sensation, like a million needles made of ice, all plunging into me at once, slowly depressing the frozen liquid they contain under the surface of my translucent membranes.This is the inexplicable feeling of another's presence.You can't see them, but I can.
Ember Malloch has always felt like the odd one in the bunch, but there's a reason for that. She can see the dead.
After losing everything, Ember learns that her life is not what she thought it was, nor are the people in it. An unbridled strength is unleashed upon her as she learns her past, and discovers who she is. She will have to face her demons to survive while she has an awakening like no other.

In the process, Ember, the younger girl learns of her past and the hidden strength she possesses. Once the portal is revealed, the plot thickens. Without giving too much away... I suggest you pick up a copy to find out what transpired.
