I escaped one monster, only to stumble on three more. At Milestone High, they're practically gods-power, wealth, and dangerously sharp looks making them untouchable. But these monsters? They've set their eyes on me, and they're not the type to play nice. They want to break me, to strip me bare and expose the secrets I've fought so hard to bury. What they don't realize is that I've faced demons far worse than anything they can imagine. Letting them dig up my past? Not an option. If they think they can shatter me and force my hand, they're in for a surprise. Because if they want to uncover my secrets, they'll have to "try harder".
