In a world where death has become predictable, one girl holds the key to saving time itself.
Sixteen-year-old Lena Mitchell has always seen people’s death dates floating above their heads—a curse she’s kept secret her entire life. But when everyone in her small town suddenly shares the same expiration date, she realizes her curse might be the only thing standing between her community and annihilation.
As a shadowy tech corporation’s temporal experiment spirals out of control, Lena must join forces with Marcus, a mysteriously immune teenage barista, and Jimmy, the son of a brilliant whistleblower, to expose the truth. With less than twenty-four hours until the synchronized death date arrives, they race against time itself to prevent a catastrophe that threatens not just their town, but the very fabric of reality.
Unraveling a conspiracy that bridges cutting-edge science and supernatural ability, Lena faces an impossible choice: sacrifice her unique power to save those she loves or become something beyond human to protect the natural flow of time.
THE COUNTDOWN is a mind-bending YA sci-fi action thriller that will leave you guessing until the final page!
