Plot summary

Stacey Brown, a 16 year old Junior at Hillcrest Boarding School, is a hereditary wiccan through her grandmother. Stacey wants to have a normal high school experience, but all that is hindered when she starts having terrifying nightmares about the death of her best friend and roommate, Drea. It is not the first time she's had nightmares, either. 3 years ago, the girl she used to babysit, Maura, was murdered. Stacey had ignored her nightmares about the young girl's death, and therefore Maura was killed. So now, she's faced with finding a way to interpret her nightmares, but they aren't always clearFirst Drea receives anonymous phone calls and chilling notes, but also receives lilies, which Stacy knows are the death flower. As they try to solve the mysteries, and as Stacey tries to correctly interpret her nightmares, a student is brutally murdered. Friends lose trust in each other, and secrets cannot be passed.Stacey is also distracted by Chad, Drea's on-and-off boyfriend, and people believe that he could be the stalker/murderer. And then one day, Drea disappears all of a sudden. The police are not that concerned, for their murdered classmate, Veronica, is still the big story. Stacey goes looking for her, into the woods she dreamed of so many times. She eventually finds Drea, along with Donovon, a boy who had a crush on Drea since the 3rd grade. After finding that Donovon was the stalker, Stacey fights for her and Drea's life against his madness.
