Thirteen years ago, Ellise Hawthorne vanished without a trace.
Now, she's back... but not the same girl they lost.
Raised in silence, scarred by secrets, and shaped by cruelty, Ellise is thrust into the center of the powerful Hawthorne family-America's most feared and revered mafia dynasty. They want to protect her. Love her. Give her the life she was stolen from.
But Ellise isn't just haunted by her past-she remembers every bruise, every betrayal, and every lie she was forced to swallow.
And someone wants to make sure she never tells.
As her brothers and parents dig deeper into the mystery behind her disappearance, Ellise must navigate the dangers of her new world-elite schools, hidden enemies, buried bloodlines-and the darkest corners of her own memories.
Because the truth doesn't just set you free.
It shatters everything.
