Nearly 10 years-that's how long Cecelia has been alone. Abandoned. Exiled from the only family she's ever known for a crime she doesn't even remember committing. Sent away to a cold, unfamiliar boarding school in London, she learned to survive on her own, her past slipping away piece by piece after a tragic accident stole her memories. Now, her family exists only in the ink-stained pages of her diary-names without faces, stories without warmth. But when a sudden summons drags her back into their world, Cecelia is forced to confront the ghosts of her past. Her family still blames her. Their eyes hold nothing but resentment. And worst of all, she has no idea what she did to deserve their hatred. Thrown into a brutal world of crime, power, and secrets, Cecelia finds herself entangled in a dangerous game-one where trust is scarce, loyalty is tested, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As she fights to reclaim the life that was stolen from her, she must face the ultimate question: Can she ever truly go home, or was she never meant to belong in the first place?
