When
Seraphina was younger, she healed her best friend's injured hand. Terrified by
the inexplicable cure, the girl shunned her. From that day on, Seraphina found
herself without friends, a freak and an oddity. And so she obeyed her mother’s
rule to refrain from using her innate ability, heeded her mother's warning that
its use could land her in the local mental health facility alongside her aunt
and grandmother.
But
when sixteen-year-old Seraphina finds a mysterious, wounded boy hiding in the
hollow in the woods behind her house, she can't hold out against the overpowering
urge to help him. She is drawn to him each night, and as they come to know one
another, their irresistible attraction blooms.
She
longs to uncover his secrets — where he comes from and why he's hiding and how
he came to be so wounded — and to share her own, though she knows it's
forbidden. And while her healing touch seems to be helping him, it's hurting
her. When the symptoms of psychosis — experienced by the women in her bloodline
who used their powers — begin to plague Seraphina, she is faced with the
unbearable choice of saving her sanity or the boy she’s come to love.
