After all, he's a priest, and I'm a hitman, our career paths both a product of our childhood in one way or another. But my twin is every bit as fucked up as I am, and I'm more determined than ever to prove that to the world now that she's in his life.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores.

Certi luoghi sono maledetti. E le persone che ci abitano condannate a un destino che non meritano. Lo sa bene Stella, diciassette anni, l'estate negli occhi e addosso l'esuberanza di chi è giovane.

Because whatever haunted Bluebone Ridge followed me out. It's ancient… starving. And now it knows my scent and the taste of my blood.

La comunità degli astrofisici è riunita in Lapponia per un convegno internazionale nel quale confrontarsi e presentare gli ultimi risultati sulla nostra comprensione dell'universo. Gabriele Stelle, giovane ricercatore che lavora in uno dei più grandi e prestigiosi osservatori astronomici del mondo, si trova lì insieme ad Alessia, la studentessa di Fisica che gli è stata affibbiata dalla sua capa.

Una sera uguale alle altre, in uno sperduto osservatorio astronomico. La luce delle stelle illumina, ma non abbastanza, la piccola comunità di scienziati residenti che si trova alle prese prima con un black-out, forse un sabotaggio, e poi con un cadavere trovato nella sala comune, forse un assassinio: la vittima potrebbe essere caduta da una balaustra, o essere stata spinta. L’osservatorio è isolato, i telefoni sono muti, i cellulari non prendono, i copertoni delle automobili sono stati tagliati e la città più vicina, se si riesce ad attraversare il deserto, si trova a due ore di macchina.
