Now nothing will ever be the same.

After her parents' sudden death, Ellara is dragged back to a hometown she barely remembers-a place thick with secrets and silence. At her new school, there's only one rule whispered in every hallway: never mess with the three boys in the back.

And they let her in.

Beneath their cold stares lie shattered truths. Behind her brother's forced smile-an unforgivable secret. And somewhere in the ashes of her old life, something dark is waiting to rise.

Love. Lies. Betrayal. Blood.

What's buried in the past always finds a way to surface.
