A girl discovers a family secret and a past full of magic that could both save her and put her in mortal danger in this suspenseful novel that's perfect for fans of Katie Alender and Natasha Preston.
All sixteen-year-old Heather MacNair wants is to feel normal, to shed the intense paranoia sheโs worn all year like a scratchy sweater. After her compulsion to self-harm came to light, Heather was kept under her doctorโs watchful eye. Her family thinks sheโs betterโand thereโs nothing she wants more than for that to be true. She still canโt believe sheโs allowed to spend her summer vacation as she always does: at her auntโs home in Scotland, where she has lots of happy memories. Far away from all her problems save one: she canโt stop carving the Celtic knot that haunts her dreams into her skin.
Good friends and boys with Scottish accents can cure almost anything . . . except nightmares. Heather canโt stop dreaming about two sisters from centuries ago, twins Prudence and Primrose, who somehow seem tied to her own life. Their presence lurks just beneath the surface of her consciousness, sending ripples through what should be a peaceful summer. The twins might hold the key to putting Heatherโs soul at rest . . . or they could slice her future deeper than any knife.
