"No time to delay. Do what you were born to do. Fame will be yours when you do this." These are the words that ring in the mind of mild-mannered, beloved schoolteacher Cora Gundersun - just before she takes her own life, and many others', in a shocking act of carnage. When the disturbing contents of her secret journal are discovered, it seems certain that she must have been insane. But Jane Hawk knows better.

Mateo spent years believing he suffered from a strange wasting sickness, but he's finally learned the much darker truth. Now he will do whatever it takes to save himself, even if it means betraying Lia, the one girl who's ever made him care about something more than his research. It doesn't help that his father kidnapped the last living member of Lia's family, and though it means Mateo will get to see her again, it's only because Lia is already hunting them.
