Discover de Vries can't wait to be Latched. The Community says it's the only way to save the dying population of Charington, and the only way to protect yourself against the Wraiths. Of course, it's even better when your assigned Latched is your best friend. After the procedure, Cov is happy enough to have her soul merged with Anais's, but after a traumatic Wraith attack kills her, Cov is left stranded in Anais's body. Lost and alone, and vulnerable to the Wraiths, she thinks it's the end for her--until she meets Lynx. Everything about him is strange. He wears a green jewel under his lip. He ices her out when she asks about his past. He's seventeen and Clear. But he isn't what he seems, and soon Cov finds herself questioning everything--the Latching procedures, the Wraiths, the world she lives in and the lengths some will go to to keep things secret.
