Harvest Season

Marigold Miller is brilliant, broke, and used to expecting the worst. Living in the shadow of poverty, a sick father, and a future that seems already decided, she keeps her head down and survives the only way she knows how. Then she sees something fall from the sky. In an abandoned factory, Marigold makes the impossible discovery: her dead sister Rose, alive again and frozen at the same age she died. But Rose's return sets off a deadly chain reaction. Two mysterious men are hunting her, and Marigold is suddenly dragged into a high-stakes race to stay one step ahead of them. As the truth behind Rose's resurrection begins to unfold, Marigold discovers the danger reaches far beyond her family. Now the fate of humanity may rest on a girl who has spent her whole life believing she doesn't matter. To save the world, Marigold will have to trust her mind, her heart, and the sister she thought she'd lost forever.
