Jillian Safinova can do many things.
She can speak five languages. She can tell when someone is lying from the sound of their voice. And she can always find a silver lining.
But there’s one thing Nova can’t do. She can’t see.
When her brother convinces her to have an operation that will restore her sight, Nova wakes up to a world she no longer understands.
And then she meets Kate, whose past hides a different kind of darkness.
Together, can they both open their eyes to the lives they could be living?
