When 17 year-old Morrigan DeBurgh is awakened from a drug induced
coma, her father confesses that he and her mom consciously chose to
have her admitted to a psychiatric hospital to have her memories
taken from her through a form of memory washing. After persuading
her father to tell her the entire truth, she learns that not only
does she have an inherited gift of being a Seer but she is also
capable of physically pulling things from her dreams and
nightmares. Upon their arrival home to Ridge, Maine her father
continues answering questions to help his daughter understand why
he and her mom made the choices they had. He gives her a box of
memories explaining all of the earlier experiences that she had
with her gift of precognition. This Ghost Box contains newspaper
clippings and other trinkets that explain each situation that she
had been part of, including a mask that she had pulled from a
dream. With help from her twin brother Finn, Morrigan begins to
understand that these precognitions weren't always positive; she
had the blood of at least two men on her hands and on one occasion,
she actually pulled something quite evil and foul from a nightmare
that almost took the life of her brother. With the start of their
final year at Ridge Valley Preparatory High School approaching,
Morrigan needed her roommate and best friend Sadie Carmichael now
more than ever. Other than her family she was the only person that
would accept Morrigan for who she was and would look at her as
'normal' rather than the monster that she felt she was. When Sadie
flew in from New York City a couple of weeks prior to the start of
school, Morrigan laid out all of the truths that she had learned
over her summer holiday, leaving her feeling empty and void. Sadie
vowed to help Morrigan understand her new abilities. Morrigan,
annoyed by her dreamless sleep, was thrilled to see a reoccurring
hazy, colorless vision of a familiar face. It was a boy, more than
likely her age. He had dark, wavy hair, vibrant eyes, pure skin and
a perfect smile. As he had in her past visions, he held out a hand
to her, helping her, but from what she didn't know. At the
conclusion of the first week of school, the students were to
celebrate their first Friday Festivity back on campus with a
traditional bonfire. Just before the bell tolled, calling the
students back to their dorms, dark clouds rolled through the clear
night sky, covering the light of the full moon bringing with it
swirls of gusting wind, carrying debris from the field and ash from
the fire. Students were being thrown around, gasping for breath,
screaming for help. Morrigan was knocked to the ground, pinned to
the cold earth, unable to move. Once she realized who had saved her
from the storm, she was more than intrigued to know who this boy
was and why he was so familiar to her. Instant chemistry was had
between Morrigan and the boy. Wanting desperately to tell her the
truth as to who he is, he asks her to dream about him. Without the
help of her sleep medication, she did as she was asked. Her
beautiful dream quickly turned into a haunting nightmare as she was
attacked by Stitchers, leaving her badly wounded- they haunted her
sleep once again. These were the same monsters that almost killed
her brother Finn a couple of years earlier. Briefly the boy told
her of his true identity in order to heal her of the pain that she
was suffering. As her guardian he was bonded to her 200 years
before by her ancestor, Conrad DeBurgh. Conrad sent this guardian
to protect her from the evil that haunted him, the same evil that
took him to his grave. Confused by yet another truth, Morrigan has
no idea why she should believe him. Already in a dark place, she
chooses to live in silence as she processes all that she has
learned. This proves short lived, but only because Morrigan needs
to understand why this boy was sent to find and protect her. The
bigger question is, what does she need protection from...
