Strange things happen at midnight in the town of Bixby,
Oklahoma.
Time freezes.
Nobody moves.
For one secret hour each night, the town belongs to the dark
creatures that haunt the shadows. Only a small group of
people know about the secret hour -- only they are free to
move about the midnight time.
These people call
themselves Midnighters. Each one has a different power that
is strongest at midnight: Seer, Mindcaster, Acrobat,
Polymath. For years the Midnighters and the dark creatures
have shared the secret hour, uneasily avoiding one another.
All that changes when the new girl with an unmistakable
midnight aura appears at Bixby High School.
Jessica Day is not an outsider like the other
Midnighters. She acts perfectly normal in every way. But it
soon becomes clear that the dark creatures sense a hidden
power in Jessica . . . and they're determined to stop her
before she can use it.
