Spencer Hawthorne isn't a hero, not really. The accident that forced her to give up her teenage years haunts her- a shadow she can't detach or throw out a window on her way to Neverland. But despite the scars that remain, she's graduating college and moving on with her life. As soon as she fulfills the pact. The pact that she made as a little girl with her very best friend, in a musty library surrounded by silent rows of dusty book spines. They haven't seen each other in years. But, a promise is a promise, so she's off to San Francisco to reconnect with her long-lost friend. However, they won't be able to escape their past on board The Salinian. The accident that drove them apart continues to loom over their lives, and now, it will threaten their futures.
