Having been desperate to rid herself of her psychic powers, Miriam now finds herself armed with the solution &#8212; a seemingly impossible one. But Miriam\u2019s past is catching up to her, just as she\u2019s trying to leave it behind. A copy-cat killer has caught the public&#8217;s attention. An old nemesis is back from the dead. And Louis, the ex she still loves, will commit an unforgivable act if she doesn&#8217;t change the future. Miriam knows that only a great sacrifice is enough to counter fate. Can she save Louis, stop the killer, and survive? Hunted and haunted, Miriam is coming to a crossroads, and nothing is going to stand in her way, not even the Trespasser.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chuck Wendig is a novelist, screenwriter, and game designer.
