The man from her nightmares is real.
Twenty-three-year-old Ivy Lewis sees the future in fragments: glimpses of disasters she's powerless to prevent. She's learned to live with the visions that mark her as different, dangerous even. When a mysterious letter arrives bearing a name from her childhood dreams, everything changes.
Someone has been watching her for years. Someone who knows what she is. Someone who wants what pulses beneath her skin.
Now the San Francisco seer community whispers her name with equal parts reverence and fear. They say she amplifies power. They say she breaks it. As an ancient society fractures around her, Ivy finds herself caught between two men: Ethan, the investigative journalist who grounds her, and another whose very presence makes her question which reality is real.
In a city where illusions bleed into truth, every choice ripples outward. Every vision she touches transforms. And the line between salvation and destruction rests on a gift she never asked for-one that might destroy everyone she loves.
They call her the catalyst. The question is: for what?
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed. Some futures, once seen, become inevitable.
Will Ivy master the power that both terrifies and defines her? Or will she become the very darkness she's spent her life trying to escape?
One woman. Two futures. No safe choice.
