Nobody is safe in the secret hour.
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. A story of courage, shadowy perils, and unexpected destiny,
the secret hour is the first volume of the mesmerizing
Midnighters trilogy by acclaimed author Scott Westerfeld.
