Joey Slivers hates small town living. Maybe that's the reason she's never felt abandoned, though her mother fled, leaving her father alone to raise Joey and her older brother, Sam. Nothing much ever happens in Gaston, Oregon. The closest thing to excitement in Joey's life are the moments she spends at Hagg Lake. That is, until bizarre things start to happen. The town is up in arms about a group of strangers stirring up trouble. Things are missing, fires break out, and the local animals start acting strange. Seeking refuge, Joey returns to the lake where she meets a beautiful stranger, Trey Pattin, who is as mystical as he is handsome. Joey is drawn to Trey and the bond they share is almost tangible. Trey reveals that he is an immortal child-a child born to a Traveler, supernatural beings that come to earth to help those in need. What's even more unbelievable is when Trey tells Joey she is also an immortal child and that her mother had been a Traveler. As Joey begins to learn the secrets of her past while falling hard for Trey, her world comes crashing down. There are other immortal children and a group are after her. Joey must work to unravel the secrets of the immortal children, but can she succeed and remains safe from those who are determined to see her dead?
