When Cassandra Hutchington receives her 16th birthday present her mundane life takes a turn for the worst. Certain talents, which have lain dormant for the past 15 years, manifest themselves, leaving her a completely changed young woman. Cassandra, a senior at Willow Bend Secondary has a secret crush on Chris Sweeney, one of the school’s coolest guys. Trouble is he doesn’t even know she’s alive. Chris only has eyes for Charity Abraham, the beautiful head cheerleader of the Willow Bend Cavaliers. A practical joke goes awry at a pep rally, Cassandra gets the blame, even though the culprit is Charity Abraham. Usually unable to speak up for herself, Cassandra proves to the whole student body that she has harnessed the power of the spoken word. As a fit “punishment”, she is expelled from school for a week, and leaves Willow Bend Secondary feeling as if she’s committed a most heinous crime. Confused, she wanders around the Village, and comes upon a wise old woman who holds the key to her destiny, a Tarot card called Death. Sometime during the night, Cassandra is tragically killed, and everyone, except for Charity, blames themselves for her death. Chris and Charity return to school the following September, leaving Cassandra’s distant memory behind. She’s almost forgotten until a new girl, Caitlin Deveraux, transfers in from Heritage Hills. One by one, Cassandra's classmates begin to disappear, and the townspeople begin to wonder exactly who or what is the new girl, and what she has to do with Cassandra Hutchington.
