Sara Leigh Larson normally shies away from fate and crystal balls, but when an insistent fortune teller asks for help, kind-hearted Sara agrees to do her a favor. Finding a scarf at a thrift store for the old seer is easy. Delivering the cloth isn't, since it's haunted and the former owner's spirit takes an interest in Sara. Now a bond she can't sever has veered Sara's life down a supernatural path never mapped into her college degree plan: indentured servant to a ghost with an agenda.
When Sara travels home to her family for winter break, seeking a few weeks off from her studies and situation, fate comes calling again, this time bringing an unholy guest in its wake. Threatened by an entity hell-bent on using her for its own plans, Sara is desperate to learn why she's become the target of unusual paranormal attention as she struggles to survive.
