Summary
Seventeen-year-old Mina has always longed to find her roots. But every time she asks her father questions about Egypt—or about her mother's death—he closes up. So when Mina receives a mysterious invitation to visit her mother's childhood home in El Agamy, she jumps at the chance to et some answers. But when Mina returns, she doesn't come back alone. A sinister entity follows Mina home, leaving destruction in its wake as it violently possesses anyone who comes near her. Fighting for her life, Mina seeks help from an unlikely ally: town rebel Jesse Talbot, the only person who proves immune to possession. Jesse would rather floss with barbed wire than team up with social butterfly Mina, but he doesn't exactly have a choice—he's running from family secrets of his own. As Mina and Jesse dig deeper into Mina's family lore, they uncover a bloody debt that must be satisfied if Mina wants to finish senior year alive.
