Everywhere Eureka goes he is there: Ander, a mysterious blond boy who tells her she's in danger. Ander knows things about Eureka she doesn't yet know herself, but not her darkest secret: ever since her mother drowned in a freak accident, Eureka wishes she were dead, too.
She has little left that she cares about, just her friend Brooks and some heirlooms--a locket, a letter, a mysterious stone, and an ancient book about a girl who got her heart broken and cried an entire continent into the sea.
