Her name is Maria Guadalupe and she makes the earth move. Literally.
Life is complicated for the bookish seventeen-year-old. For one thing, she can’t control her ability and, as a result, can’t attend school. For another, she’s in love with a ghost who can only communicate with her through a steamy bathroom mirror. And lastly, she’s on the run from a brutal man with a long reach and unlimited resources. Fortunately, she has her father with her—and her best friend, a rescue terrier named Toby.
In a last-ditch effort to protect her, Maria’s dad sends Maria and Toby to the town of Dead End in Sanctum, where her late mother was born. There, she meets the grandfathers her mother told her about. Even her backstabbing, ghostly, now ex, boyfriend follows her there, much to her dismay.
But, as much as she loves her grandparents and her new life in Dead End, Maria can’t be happy without her dad. She’ll do anything to get back home to make sure he’s safe from their shared enemy.
Anything.
Even if it means using the ability she fears.
Even if it means putting herself in danger.
Even if it means destroying the barrier between Sanctum and Earth.
