Carina was six when she first stood outside the gates of the Zavattini estate. Only seven when she was sent to a suburbia five hours away. Being an affair child and a daughter, she grew up knowing exactly where she stood; at the lowest in the family hierarchy. She knew no one actually cared about her. But that was fine because there was nothing to envy about the women who were cared for in that family. At suburbia, she could sneak out to parties, read books, join the debate club, write essays on seagulls, dream about marine biology and California. She only had to return home few times a year during holidays; play quiet ,obedient girl with no opinions and leave again. Life was normal, mostly. Until the day her brother arrived at the school to take her home. And suddenly, Carina was pulled back into the world of rules, power and danger. For how long could she pretend to not feel, to not have opinions! Carina is 16 as she is standing in front of the same gates again. ( a non cliche mostly)

Her mind had erased her family years ago. Forgotten them, like they had never existed. In much the same way, Anastasia Volkov had been removed from her family. Sent away. Forgotten, like she never existed. Then, one day, she was summoned to come home... ....... The Volkov family is powerful and feared. Five formidable brothers and one beautiful younger sister. To everyone, they look perfect. Like nothing is missing. But they are wrong. Walls remember they were once seven. When Anastasia returns, people whisper about her. Difficult, unstable, dangerous. Some say she tried to hurt her sister. Others say her family hid her away to protect themselves. She doesn't know what is true. She can't remember any of it. Yet someone wanted her back home. But in a house full of secrets, being noticed might be the most dangerous mistake.
