Jay Gordon has spent his life in the shadows, overlooked by his father-a legendary actor adored by the world but absent at home. To everyone around him, Jay wears a flawless mask of charm and happiness, concealing the loneliness and resentment that have shaped him. But when he meets a new girl who sees past his façade, Jay begins to let his guard down, unaware that her kindness hides a purpose. She's searching for the truth about his father's dark past-a past Jay has never fully understood. As their bond deepens, Jay is torn between his growing feelings and the painful secrets she's determined to uncover. When the truth comes to light, Jay must confront the lies that built his family's legacy, even if it means losing the one person who made him feel seen. AU Ninjago, I own the plot but not some of the characters!

But scars don't always fade... what will happen when the past catches up... and Jay is forced to face Ninjago again?
