Lenora Kelly dreams of a normal life...whatever that means for an 18-year-old just discovering her psychic abilities. With the evil entity that haunted her now gone, Lenora can use her retro-cognition abilities as a fledgling member of Cambridge Society for the Paranormal (CSP) to help solve a disturbing new case: a terrified mother who believes her son is possessed by a malevolent entity.
But, while investigating the case, Lenora is plagued with eerie dreams.
As several Cambridge children inexplicably die from the mystifying Sleeping Death, Lenora dreams of a nefarious shadow that leads children on a mortal march, a dark rider from the mist who snatches children and brings them to death. He is familiar, this phantom who seduces her with his black waltz...he resembles Nicholas, the man she loves.
Fighting to solve the CSP case while struggling to separate dream from reality, Lenora races to help save a boy, a family, her relationship, and her credibility. But, will she win the battle before becoming victim herself?
