Ana Mourns Alina Banks

Peace does not come easily to the residents of Clermont. Ana and her trio of friends return to school mere days after the harrowing incident with Principal Woods, but what they don't expect is the enigmatic Joseph Eason and his charming son, Damien. And when Joseph announces that he will be the new principal at Clermont High, Ana is struck by a wave of nausea and an overpowering feeling of unease. In an effort to learn more about her intense aversion to the Easons, Ana resolves to befriend Damien. And after only an hour in his presence, she is shocked to discover that any doubts she'd had about him seemed to have inexplicably disappeared, as if they had been erased. Something isn't right about the Easons... Confusion quickly morphs into alarm when Ana's mother undergoes a drastic shift in personality, suddenly inseparable from the new nurse at the hospital, Madeline Eason. As Ana desperately searches for a way to restore her mother's sense of self, she stumbles upon a hidden piece of Clermont's history and uncovers a secret that could shatter her perception of reality. Something dark has returned to Clermont, and Ana could be the only one who can stand against it.
