Aaron Hotchner's job has always been dangerous, but he's done everything he can to keep his children safe. His daughter, Lily Hotchner, is twelve years old-sarcastic, sensitive, and sharper than most adults realize. With her oversized dinosaur shirts, sketchbooks, and noise-canceling headphones, Lily is just trying to survive school bullies and protect her little brother, Jack.
But Lily has secrets of her own: an eidetic memory, a genius-level mind she hides from everyone, and an uncanny ability to notice things most people miss. The BAU team sees glimpses of it when they gather around her like family-Reid tutoring, JJ mothering, Garcia spoiling-but no one expects Lily to become a target.
When an unsub sets their sights on Hotch's family again, Lily's world shatters. What happens when the quietest Hotchner becomes the center of the storm?
