If you knew the world was ending, who would you save? And would they let you?

Sixteen-year-old Winnie Bray is a liar — as the resident psychic in an oddities shop in Buffalo, New York, she tells people what they want to hear so she can make money and save up to leave town.

But then a vision drags her back to the site of her childhood home, which burned down ten years earlier. In the ash and rubble she finds a mysterious bone box that was untouched by the flames… and whispering.

At the touch of the box, she flashes into a vision of apocalypse: a future of death and chaos, with her and rich teens Apollo and Cyrus Rathbun at the centre. Apollo knows Cyrus is up to no good, and with their family in pieces, Cyrus is angling to become patriarch.

Despite their rocky start, Winnie and Apollo must form an uneasy alliance to trace the origins of the box — and to stop unforeseen forces from fulfilling the prophecy, or die trying. Their lives, their families, their histories and identities are all intertwined with this object.

“A gripping gothic mystery and a mesmerizing story of teens discovering agency that offers fresh depictions of solidarity, resilience, and decision-making against seemingly insurmountable odds.”—Publishers Weekly

“A great read… sheds light on white supremacy and the ways misappropriation still plays out in present day, along with the objectification of Black women.”—Booklist

“Distinct and compelling.”—Kirkus Reviews
