Metaphorically and practically. A bird with a broken wing shouldn't try to fly- well, if it didn't have a death wish. What do the Theodores, the Crimsons and the Hawthorns have in common? Why is her seventy five year old grandfather after her life? Why hasn't she ever noticed her cousin Lucian before? Who murders her parents? Why is her family dysfunctional? Why is a famous politician after her- a simple woman who succeeded in her career? Is there more to her history than the eye can see? As she deepens her search, Achelois's life collides with a dark buried history in a stunning twist of fate-and not everyone will survive. Because the clock is ticking, and one by one, people close to Achelois Crimson are being hunted. For her, surviving becomes part of a diabolical game.As she and Wolfe strive for success, each reveals just how far they'll go to get what they wants -- even if it means destroying the other person along the way. An edgy, addictive, and fiendishly clever tale of ambition, deceit, and power suited for fans of the dark psychological thrillers that destroy you mentally, Stalemate revels in its mind games, delivering twist after twist as it races toward a Shakespearian climax. With no choice but to stick to it, she continues shifting through a complex web of interlocking secrets and lies, some decades old and some rooted violently in the present day. As time slowly begins to run out, the answer to those questions might be what stands between life and death. *Delve inside for full summary*
