Seventeen-year-old Luce, who is suspected of killing her boyfriend, is sent to a Savannah, Georgia, reform school where she meets two intriguing boys and learns the truth about the strange shadows that have always haunted her.
In deeper trouble than she ever thought possible, Luce Price has been sent to a strict school for dangerous, troubled kids. Never escaping dark shadows that create scenarios where Luce seemingly does terribly things, she's hoping things will be different at the Sword Cross school. But when she becomes obsessed with golden Daniel Grigori, who spurns her, Luce feels that he must be the answer to all her problems. Will she be able to connect with him before the shadows cause her yet more pain? Set in Savannah, Georgia, there's plenty of gothic Southern energy to propel this supernatural romance, which is the first in a series.
