Amelia Fairchild is in way over her head. Her new apartment is basically a water feature, she has no family or friends around, and New Orleans is shaping up to be a very different environment from her college life in Indiana. Her only saving grace is her new museum job, where she'll be putting her double masters in forensic botany and archaeology to good use. Except first days never go as planned... ◇◇◇◇◇ Vincent Moreau knows exactly where he stands. The head of the museum's forensic pathology crossover department, he's not fond of sharing his space for cases. Typically, this would never be a problem...until the local police and state government recover a casket from the Mississippi, and he's forced into a reluctant partnership with the most annoying-yet magnetic-Hoosier he's ever met. Together, they must uncover the secret behind this recovery-one that lies far closer to Vincent's family than he ever imagined.

Ten years ago, seven-year-old Mila Voss vanished without a trace. The world moved on. Or so she was meant to believe. Deep beneath the surface, inside a classified government facility, Mila has spent a decade as Subject V-937 - a test subject in a pathogen program pushing human adaptation to its limits. Around her, children disappear. Friends die. Memories fade. Survival becomes routine. To cope, Mila keeps a notebook. A list of names. A record of everyone she refuses to forget. When Adrian Vale arrives as a new recruit assigned to observe the facility, he expects science. Data. Answers. Instead, he finds a girl with a notebook full of names and a decade of questions nobody will answer.

They were taken. And somewhere above ground, their families are still searching. Now, with time running out and the facility closing in, Mila and Adrian must decide whether hope is worth the risk of everything. Because some storms are meant to be survived. And some cages were never meant to last.
