​
​Artistic prodigy Juliet Brynn just wants to survive 1982 with as little social torture as possible. But then her sketches start to come true and Damon Sheppard, a boy with a troubled past, shows her worlds she never knew existed and a power at work in the universe that forges paths into places most people choose never to go. When Juliet begins to shape the future by drawing it, she must discover the source of her newfound Power of Artistic Prophecy and the key to making it work. As everything she knows and loves is taken from her, she must learn to discern right from wrong, truth from deception, the honorable from the predatory. "I started to pray for help to come, for God to save us. Then I stopped. I swallowed another mouthful of my own blood. If God even existed, he obviously didn’t give a crap about me." When unthinkable trauma strikes, will Damon—and Juliet’s prophetic gift—prove as catastrophic as some predict, or can they impart her the power to make everything right again?
