A scream in the night. A mother's death. And a stranger in the shadows. Seventeen-year-old Reyah's sheltered life unravels in a single, blood-soaked moment. When her mother is murdered and a mysterious cloaked figure appears, Reyah is thrust into a world of secrets she was never meant to uncover. Her family's perfect life was a lie-and the truth leads straight to Bodtariam, a hidden realm of power, prophecy, and betrayal. As enemies close in and her past collides with a dangerous destiny, Reyah must decide who to trust-and whether she's strong enough to face what's coming. Some diaries hold memories. Hers holds the fate of a kingdom.
