"Your eyes have been the same in every lifetime."
What’s a girl to do when the existence of her soul and the existence of the universe itself are one and the same?
Lindy Cook, aged sixteen, has never felt completely at ease with her high school peers, preferring antiques and dead languages to iPhones and Instant Messaging. Badgered into attending a Spirit Week event where she is hypnotized, Lindy's mind opens to reveal that she is the physical embodiment of the universe. She awakens to a barrage of memories from lifetimes as distant ankylosaurus in the Cretaceous, as fated as Michelangelo’s muse, and as doomed as a passenger on the RMS Titanic -- and to the knowledge that a clique of her classmates are supernatural creatures, watching over her secretly as wizards, Japanese demons, Maori spirits... and one very handsome werewolf.
After the initial upheaval of discovering the supernatural world and its truth that every mythology she’s ever known is real, everything seems to be falling into place in her life: her friendships with the “monsters” who inhabit her high school seem loyal, and she’s found quiet, burgeoning love with Daniel Haliburton, an isolated werewolf who descends directly through the bloodlines of Romulus and Lycaon. However, the patina of wonder begins to fade when eerie threats are made against Lindy’s life – and therefore the continuity of the universe – and it becomes clear that one of her magical classmates is the dangerous culprit hellbent on unleashing entropy.
As her reality becomes one of evading monsters, attempting to keep entropy at bay, and romancing the shy werewolf in her class, it becomes clear that Daniel's prophetic words to Lindy -- "There is more to the world than you were brought up to believe" -- are truer than she ever could have guessed.
