Olivia Harmon keeps to herself. As an empath, her power not only allows her to experience other people’s emotions, but also influence them. It’s a heavy burden to carry, and the main reason Olivia has always been more comfortable around the dead. As a small town funeral director and assistant county coroner, she’s able to keep her distance from the day to day drama of the living. After a series of seemingly unrelated deaths, Olivia discovers a hidden connection that puts her right in the middle of the investigation. Using her gifts to free an innocent girl from the grips of a powerful dark magic should have made her the hero. Instead, Olivia becomes the prime suspect. Now the center of attention, Olivia must choose between keeping her distance and maintaining the carefully constructed life she's built or doing what's right and risking everything.
