**Will be available in print and ebook formats September 13, 2016** When Elizabeth, Delia, and Emily were children, their grandfather told them a story about an island castle called the Needle's Eye-home to a lord and his three sons-which could be seen from the coast of their small village. The castle has since been hidden by a mysterious and constant fog that looms over the water, but his story speaks of nine girls who rowed out to the castle on Needle's Eye Island. None of them returned, and the lord's family was never heard from again. Years later, following their grandfather's death, the last ties that bind the three sisters to the village-and each other-seem to be breaking. A careless mistake on the water leads their boat to be swallowed by the forbidden fog, and when they emerge from that cloud, the girls discover that the island castle they'd dreamed of is not a myth. The mere innocence of a curious glimpse becomes a fight for survival when the girls are cursed by the lord's ghostly sons. The sisters learn firsthand what happened to the nine girls who never returned home, and their choice quickly becomes apparent: they can play the games of the three soulless men, or they can give in to death, never to see one another again.

I observe. I take down notes. I hold everyone's secrets. Mess with me and face hell reincarnated as a teenage girl. I'm a girl who watches the ending credits of movies because she actually appreciates all the hard work people did, no matter how small. I'm a girl who likes quiet places because that's the only place you can take the time and let the world turn without you. I'm a girl who studies because she thinks it's interesting to learn about how people have contributed to make what everything is today. As you can probably tell, I have an obsession about people – but only as a whole. Not until this Leonhart guy came around. He has a name that's a tongue twister in itself, his silent nature is so loud it makes everyone notice him, and his personality is like a black hole that sucks you in. Just when I'm content with being adorned the title of a nobody of a nerd in school, he comes blasting in and ruining my silence. And guess what? I got helplessly sucked in his black hole.

Renee Griffin is gorgeous, loveable, undeniably popular, and has an uncanny ability of getting everything she wants. She is a cunning seductress, a loving daughter, a prima donna, and a cold-blooded murderer. This is not a story for the faint hearted. This is the story of a 21st Century psychopath. "'You've killed,' he breathed. His eyes had grown big, so big that they barely fit his face anymore. He didn't resemble Nathan at all. He was pathetic, and cowardly, and weak. 'I have.' Silence and darkness threatened to crush us both, the sound of his uneven breathing piercing through my eardrums. I didn't bother hiding anything in my demeanour - it was a relief to let the darkness out, to let it slip out of every pore and every cell. He was going to die. His next words were quiet, so quiet, that it could have been drowned out with the faint sound of cheers coming from the stadium. 'You're a monster.'"
