Jayne was either dying or going crazy. This is what she thought every time her hand started hurting. She never suspected it was an ancient magic writing her destiny.

With her happy life in Portland, Oregon ripped away, 13-year-old Jayne is sent to live with a foster family on the Oregon Coast. But right away, things seem... strange.

Her new home just appears. The misfit crew of orphans and seemingly psychic foster mom present new challenges, and there are whispers of a witch or a ghost living next door. But witches, ghosts and magic aren't real... right?

On the day of the accident, Jayne's hand begins to hurt -- leaving her wondering if it's a coincidence or an omen of something more. In search of answers, Jayne and two unlikely friends embark on a journey where she discovers she possesses a strange power.

Fearful of those who would force her to use her gift for evil, Jayne must decide: hide from her truth or rewrite the wrongs of her family's past.
