Seventeen-year-old Maeve O'Malley thinks her life is ordinary—just a girl stuck selling ice cream in suburban Atlanta with her eccentric uncle and exhausted mother. But when a mysterious woman appears during a freak storm, Maeve discovers she's the heir to an ancient legacy. The woman is the Phantom Queen herself, her many-times-great-grandmother, and she brings news: reality is tearing apart behind the high school, and only Maeve can close the gaps. With help from a ghostly army of O'Malley ancestors, she must embrace her heritage before the monsters break through for good.
