Daphne Elizabeth McKinley enters her final year at Rosetta Academy nursing a broken heart and wanting nothing more than to graduate quietly. The heiress to a hotel empire keeps her distance from everyone, including the attractive new student Xander who seems determined to get her attention. Then a massive spring storm engulfs the boarding school and students begin falling into an unnatural slumber. One by one, her classmates slip into a deep sleep that no one can break. DE watches helplessly as the mysterious affliction spreads through Rosetta Academy like a plague. With time running out and fewer students awake each day, she must uncover what force has cursed her school. The answer may lie with Xander, but trusting him means opening the heart she swore to protect. DE races to solve the puzzle before the entire academy succumbs to eternal sleep.
