One day, I would pay the balance for the damage done. When I was done inflicting it. Alexandria Ryder used to know what life had in store for her-an assurance that is torn from her grasp when her parents drag her across the country in a desperate bid to escape her past. A hope she is quick to destroy. Used as a crutch and a weapon, Lex abuses the magick inside of her. The price for which she must pay.
 Rox is just the girl with the dyed hair and snakebites, and that's how Lex needs her to stay if she is to avoid the ghost that hovers between them. When the haunting turns from passive to active, however, the choice is stripped from her. It is too high a cost for someone who can't help anyone until she helps herself. Every decision comes with consequences. Alexandria is counting the days until she pays for hers.
