One touch is all it takes . . . Aster Layne believes in physics, not psychics. A tarot card reading on the Ocean City Boardwalk should have been a ridiculous, just-for-fun thing. It wasn't. Aster discovers she has a very unscientific gift--with a simple touch of the cards, she can change a person's fate. Reese Van Buren is cursed. Like the kind of old-school, centuries-old curse that runs in royal families. Every firstborn son is doomed to die on his eighteenth birthday--and Reese's is coming up fast. Bummer. He tries to distract himself from his inevitable death . . . only to find the one person who can save him. Aster doesn't know that the hot Dutch guy she's just met needs her help--or that he's about to die. But worst of all . . . she doesn't know that her new gift comes with dark, dark consequences that can harm everyone she loves.
