Publisher's Synopsis
Four years before Maaya Sahni and Adelaide Sol joined forces to take on the greatest threat of the century, they lived on opposite sides of the world fighting very different battles.
For Maaya, despite struggling to get by on the streets of Sark with the constant companionship of hunger and fear, there is nothing she hates more in the world than ghosts. Born with the ability to see them in a town that still kills people for perceived witchcraft, she blames their mischief for her woes and refuses all of their attempts at friendship - until one ghost in particular won't leave her alone. Adelaide is born into a family that seems to care more for its reputation than its children. Her parents have already decided her career for her, hoping to make her the new face of their family business, but she struggles with the strict routines and lessons they've planned for her. Unable to find the answers she seeks from others, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Aided by a crew of strangers with questionable histories and powers she's struggling to control, she sets off to discover herself and find acceptance. Despite the distance between them, both girls take on equally thrilling challenges, make new friends, and learn invaluable lessons about themselves as they struggle to make their way in an unforgiving world.
