Ten years ago, Eliana was judged, condemned, and exiled by her own blood. Accused of attempting to murder her perfect identical twin sister, Rosalie, she was dumped at the St. Jude Academy-a brutal, highly classified boarding school designed to strip away human emotion and build elite lethal assets. To the world, she became Subject 417. The Regina. Now, at fifteen, the contract is fulfilled. Eliana is suddenly summoned back to the sprawling, hyper-secured estate of her biological family. Her cold parents and five older brothers expect a broken, guilty girl desperate for their forgiveness. They plan to force her into high society at the prestigious St. Augustine's Private Academy, using her as a quiet chess piece to maintain their public perfection. But behind the expensive suits, heavy security, and perfect smiles, her family is hiding a dark secret: they run a powerful, ruthless mafia syndicate. They think they've brought back a compliant teenager they can control. They have no idea that Eliana doesn't feel fear, doesn't feel guilt, and views their entire household as a hostile threat matrix.

They loathe her presence. They challenge her boundaries. But they are about to learn the hard way that you should never let a monster back into the house.
