Description

Sixteen-year-old Winnie Bray makes a living at an oddities shop by “reading” futures—until a new vision drags her back to the burned remains of her family home and reveals a bone-made box that whispers back. When the box shows an apocalypse with Winnie and the wealthy Rathbun cousins, Apollo and Cyrus, at its center, the trio must confront the tangled histories that connect their families to something ancient, hungry, and determined to be believed. As loyalties fracture and desire complicates trust, Winnie and Apollo are forced to decide who deserves saving when the end of the world feels personal—and imminent. Blending speculative thriller momentum with themes of inheritance, complicity, and the cost of prophecy, this novel delivers a sharp, character-driven descent into dread in the tradition of Jamison Shea’s darkly inventive storytelling.
