D.S. Murphy

My name is Kaidance Monroe, and when I touch someone, I see how they die. Ever since failing to prevent my brother's death, I've been exiled by my parents to the cold embrace of a juvenile detention center, my life a sequence of isolation and regret, vowing never to touch another soul again.
But as my eighteenth birthday looms, everything changes. A stranger breaks through the fortress I've built around myself, bringing with him danger and a magnetic allure I'm powerless to resist. He doesn't recoil at my curse; instead, he reveals a chilling truth: I'm not a freak; I'm a target.

unfold and alliances shift, I must face the truth: in this game of gods and monsters, love is the deadliest weapon, and choosing sides could cost more than just my heart.
