Cassie has always seen the mark-a soft glow like candlelight-but she only just discovered what it means. A marked person will die within twenty-four hours. At first Cassie's ability seems useless-especially when she can't save her own grandmother. But when the mark appears on her boyfriend, Cassie not only saves him but convinces him of her power. Together, they search out those marked for death, trying to change destiny. But the question remains: is it really okay to play with fate?
