With little to go on, Eureka finds a wise old fortune teller to translate the book, which is an ancient story of a love triangle in a magical land that has too many parallels to Reka’s situation to be pure coincidence.

When she receives her inheritance from her mom – a broken locket, a mysterious stone, and a withered old book written in an undecipherable language – Eureka finds herself with more questions than answers about what all this could possibly mean. To make matters worse, Brooks has started acting very strangely towards Eureka, doing whatever he can to make her cry.

With little left in life to care about and only two true friends, smart & sassy Cat and closer-than-a-brother Brooks, Reka’s depression drove her to an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Now,a guy towards whom Eureka feels an undeniable pull, Ander, has suddenly appeared in her life and he knows way more about her than he should. Now Eureka, wracked with survivor’s guilt and drowning in grief, lives with her out-of-touch father, reviled stepmother, and twin half-siblings. Just months ago she lost her best friend, her mom Diana, to a rogue wave that inexplicably swept their car, and only their car, from a bridge connecting the Florida Keys to the mainland.
