The storm had been brewing for weeks. When I look back and remember those days of dripping rain, the thick grey cloud blanketing the sky, the rolling thunder, I wonder how we didn't see it coming. We didn't realise it was building into something. Back then, we just thought it was stormy weather. We had no idea what lay ahead. We couldn't ever have imagined how it would engulf us. Mali, Jonesey, Fara and Petey are reluctantly gathered in the library. They're not friends and they each have reasons they don't want to be there. As the rain starts, they do not bond as a group. Mali does not engage, Jonesy takes offence, Petey ridicules the others, Fara is silent, and their teacher Ms Devine is distracted. Outside, the bad weather steadily worsens. Soon they are trapped in the school, and pulling together may be the only way out when the storm begins.

Unsure where she fits in at her new school and reeling from the unexpected death of her dad, Ava finds herself drawn to Dustin, a troubled older boy who performs rituals in the woods to communicate with the crows, messengers between this world and the afterlife. When the crows offer to return her beloved nan’s memories, Ava must decide whether she will pay their price and exchange a soul for a soul.
