Ivy Stewart thought West Archer Academy was the first step to everything she’d always wanted. The key to her entire future. But now…she might not even have a future.
It’s the start of a new semester, and Ivy’s very old friends and her very new immortality are at odds. The Evers, kids who are hundreds of years old and never age, are determined to save Ivy from suffering that same miserable fate…even if it means she won’t remember them. But what’s worse? Forgetting her family, her friends, her life or never turning thirteen?
Ronan is done running from his psychic powers. He knows he can help Ivy—once he figures out how—but he can’t shake the bad feeling he has around the rest of the Evers. Can he trust them? Can the Evers trust Ronan? Or are they all doomed to fight this centuries-old battle forever… and ever?

In this sequel toForever Twelve (2023), the Evers face threats from their own kind and from seers. The book opens with Abigail giving Ivy a deadline for finding a way to become mortal again, Ronan learning more about the conflict between seers and shadow people, and Juliet appearing at Gigi's funeral. Most of the story takes place at West Archer Academy. Ivy and Abigail find a clue in Grace's notebooks that leads them to the Ever who turned Grace mortal, and Ivy learns that there is indeed a second way to become mortal--but it's as unthinkable as the first. In flashbacks, Este tells Ivy more about her past. Ronan's family of seers discovers that he's associating with shadow people at school, and they threaten to destroy them. Each of the Evers wrestles, rather repetitively, with their immortality--what it means to keep it, and what it means to relinquish it--knowing costs are involved, both for themselves and for others in the chain. For Ivy and Abigail, a theme throughout the story is the tension between providing mutual help and seeing the other as an enemy. Following a dramatic clash between Ronan's family and the Evers, the conclusion feels satisfying, but in order to get there, the audience must first navigate a hectic and overly stuffed narrative. Readers need to be familiar with the earlier volume to follow events in this entry. A busy plot that circles the same central problem.
