Yvonne Vondagier has long seen her ability as a curse– she can perceive inky black strings coiling around those about to die, along with glimpses of their final moments. For years, she has learned to live with the burden, avoiding connections to escape the pain of foreseeing deaths.
When she encounters Cara Montenegro—a former high school classmate—in a crowded coffee shop, Yvonne’s blood runs cold. Thick black threads wrap around Cara’s body, and a vivid vision floods her mind, a leather-clad hand wielding a bloodied knife, Cara’s eyes wide with fear as she lies in a pool of crimson. It is murder.
The only clear detail from the vision is a distinctive silver serpent ring on the attacker’s finger. As Yvonne struggles to find a way to warn Cara and stop the killing, she catches a movement in the window reflection– a hooded figure bearing that very ring, staring not at Cara—but directly at her.
