Every two years, on Min's birthday, a strange man murders her. But hours later, she wakes up in a clearing, alone and unhurt. Across the valley, Noah just wants to be like everyone else. But he's not. Nightmares of murder and death plague him. Then Noah discovers that people have been lying to him his whole life. Everything changes in an eye blink. For the planet has a bigger problem. The Anvil, an enormous asteroid threatening all life on Earth and leaving little room for two troubled teens. Yet on her sixteenth birthday, as she cowers in her bedroom, hoping not to die for the fifth time, Min has had enough. She vows to discover what is happening in Fire Lake and uncovers a lifetime of lies: a vast conspiracy involving the sixty-four students of her sophomore class, one that may be even more sinister than the murders.
