Gwen Frost is a 17-year-old Gypsy girl with the gift of psy­chom­e­try or the abil­ity to know an objects his­tory just by touch­ing it. Gwen can see every­one whos ever touched an object and she can feel their emo­tions too, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Gwen uses her magic to track down objects that other kids have lost like cell phones, wal­lets, and purses for a price.

After a seri­ous freak­out with her magic and her moms death, Gwen gets shipped off to Mythos Acad­emy, a school for the rich, priv­i­leged descen­dants of ancient war­riors like Spar­tans, Ama­zons, Valkyries, and more. Gwen doesnt know one end of the sword from the other, and she doesnt fit in with the other kids. But when Jas­mine Ash­ton, the most pop­u­lar girl in school is mur­dered, and Gwen her­self is attacked, Gwen decides to use her Gypsy gift to fig­ure out who killed the other girl and why and finds her­self learn­ing some secrets that just might kill her
