By day, she's Isadora King-a sharp-tongued figure skater with a fake scholarship, a haunting past, and a name borrowed for survival. By night, she becomes Sinclair-the masked fourth member of Ashbourne's most elite and dangerous group, where power is currency, and anonymity is everything. No one knows the truth behind the mask. No one, except her closest friends. Because Isadora King doesn't exist. She's Isadora Sinclair, the hidden heiress of one of Ashbourne's Four Grand Families-a name wrapped in legacy, tragedy, and blood. Years ago, her parents died in a crash that was no accident. They were targeted. And the killers? Still out there. She and her brother were supposed to die too. They didn't. Now she's at Westmoor College, the same school her parents once attended-not just to survive, but to uncover the truth about who they were and the life she was meant to inherit. The world took them from her far too soon. And now, she's ready for revenge. The mask keeps her safe. Her silence keeps them guessing. But Xander Thorne-sharp-eyed, calculating, and far too observant-is beginning to suspect that Isadora King is hiding something... Or everything. And in a world like Ashbourne, where secrets are more valuable than loyalty, Someone's about to find out what happens when you try to kill a Sinclair-and fail.
