Every night at exactly 12:00 a.m., sixteen-year-old Mira Ezenwa wakes with a new supernatural ability, telekinesis, fire, invisibility, and strength. The power feels incredible until she sees the news the next morning. Someone in her city has died. And their body carries the same eerie silver marks glowing beneath Mira’s skin. The truth is impossible and terrifying: Every power Mira gains is stolen. Every midnight, she “borrows” an ability someone else loses their life. Desperate to break the curse, Mira is hunted by the Breathers, a secret group of gifted teens who have lost their abilities overnight, and believe she’s the reason. The only one who doesn’t want her dead is Taye Shonekan, a boy whose sister died the same way, but whose loyalty is as sharp as his suspicion. As Mira’s powers grow stronger, her body grows weaker. Borrowers don’t survive long. And the mysterious figure known only as the Archivist is watching her, waiting for the night she collapses like the others. With time running out and death following every midnight, Mira must uncover the dark deal that tied her life to a chain of sacrifices before she becomes the next headline.
