AYA SPECTOR IS DYING. From the time she was born, the thirteen year old has been battling death with both fists. Always teetering on that dangerous scale between life and death, Aya has spent her short life lying in hospitals and going on adventures. For as much of the world as she'd seen, Aya's world is really quite small. With all the traveling and appointments, she doesn't attend formal school and isn't any less for it. She doesn't bother with friends and she doesn't have much family, all dead or distant. Aya has her father and she has her mother, and they are the only people in her world that matter.
But as she takes part in her parents' cheeky antics, Aya is haunted by a constant countdown in her head: seventeen months, two weeks, and twenty—one days. Trying desperately to remain sane, she knows she must make peace with the world before she leaves it. The apple of her parents' eye, the light of their lives, Aya will die two months after her fourteenth birthday.
And when her health takes a turn for the worst, her father is nowhere to be found.
Marc Spector went missing two months ago, and when they finally find him again, he no longer goes by that name. In a race against the clock, Aya is drawn into a deadly Egyptian mystery with her mother, Layla El—Faouly, and her father's alter, Steven Grant. Accepting this reality, Aya knows she needs to tell him that she misses him, that he has to fix things with her mom, that she finally perfected that new punch he showed her.
