Her mom is having a new baby, and while everyone else is excited, Vidia is drowning in jealousy. When she and her friends, Aurelia and Zach, begin to uncover a terrifying mystery, questions quickly pile up: What are Vidia’s mom and Aurelia’s grandmother hiding? And why does an ancient voice whisper to Vidia in secret? It knows things. It wants things. The answers lie just beyond the veil — in the in-between.
