Aurora has spent thirteen years surviving, not living.
Trapped in a home filled with cruelty and silence, every day has been a battle against the monsters she was forced to call family. Marked by her striking appearance-skin, hair, and eyes devoid of pigment-Aurora has always stood out, branded as different, as other.
But when flashing lights and sirens tear through the darkness of her world, everything changes. Her abusers have been taken away in handcuffs, and for the first time, Aurora is free.
Or so she thinks.
Whisked away to a sprawling manor in New York, she's thrown into a new life with six mysterious older brothers she's never met, secrets buried in every corner, and danger that feels all too familiar. As Aurora tries to rebuild, she begins to wonder: Is the past really behind her-or has something even darker been waiting all along?
Meek, quiet, and resilient, Aurora is done merely surviving.
She's ready to live and mark her new life as more than Ephemeral.
Even if it kills her.
