Description

Sean tames his darkest secret with one simple rule.  

Never tell anyone the day they will die.  

At seventeen, Sean Ratcliffe chases high octane adventures and avoids messy human connections to escape the heavy weight of guilt. With simple eye contact, he sees the exact date of everyone’s death. When his parents vanish during a climbing expedition in Peru, Sean knows they can’t be dead. He searches for answers while navigating a new life with his aunt and a mysterious girl with the only expiration date he can’t see. 

With a suitcase full of secrets, Ava Kouris is on the run yet again, biding her time until she can break free from her mother. She’s spent her whole life juggling ghostly premonitions, her mother’s manipulations, and a best friend who’s unaware she died almost 70 years ago. 

When a shadow agency hijacks their lives, they realize that cooperating is the only way to protect their secrets and find information about Sean’s parents. As danger intensifies, the teens must untangle their feelings for each other and take charge of their lives, even if it means losing Sean’s parents forever.
