Lila Skylar Hawthorne was never meant to be part of the game. Too quiet, too soft, too busy hosting imaginary tea parties and playing music while the rest of the Hawthorne family tore itself apart over riddles, secrets, and a fortune built on manipulation. While her brothers chase clues and outwit one another, Lila grieves a grandfather she loved and struggles to hold her place in a family that seems to forget her more and more each day.

Bailey Skyla Hawthorne is the youngest and only Hawthorne granddaughter. When her grandfather, Tobias Hawthorne, leaves the family in tatters, Bailey is the glue that holds everyone together. She must face the truths that she's been hiding from and bring secrets to the surface. But will she finally make amends with her past, or will the weight of carrying others' burdens finally crush her?
