Seventeen-year-old Adonis Silver’s life isn’t anything out of the ordinary—until a chance discovery when it becomes supernatural, and his notions of right and wrong are soon stained in shades of gray.
With the death of his great-grandfather comes the responsibility of cleaning out his belongings. Among them, Adonis finds something that’s equal parts unsettling and captivating: an eyeball. Befuddled, mesmerized, Adonis pockets it, and it’s not long before he learns that this eye can see so much more than his own; it can see into others’ lives, their futures…and their sins.
When Adonis holds the eye, he can tell the future of everyone around him, and he has the power to change it. He has to change it, when a stranger’s dark thoughts threaten his twelve-year-old sister.
Adonis has to protect her, and he has to save everyone, every innocent who doesn’t know they’re in danger. Why else would he have been given this extraordinary gift, if it wasn’t to put his life on the line for the sake of good?
As he uncovers more of the eye’s abilities and how they influence his own power, Adonis must tackle mankind’s unanswerable questions: Where is the line between right and wrong? Who are you going to be in the game of judge and jury? And if given the chance, would you be the executioner?
Every encounter with a new person, a new villain, forces Adonis deeper into this existential well. He always has a choice to make; but when your choices no longer abide by the black-and-white rules of morality, how can you know what good is…and how do you know if you are?
