When sixteen-year-old Mara Hale arrives in Gull's Lantern, the fog behaves all wrong-rolling in at noon, mimicking voices, and copying people as they used to be. With new friends Ezra, Piper, and Theo, she uncovers a generations-old pact that trades painful memories for dangerous "soft-focus" lives. As the fog steals faces, rewrites pasts, and marks Mara as its next Warden, she must confront the truth her mother died to reveal.
To save the town-and herself-Mara must choose clarity over comfort before the creeping fog claims everyone.
