Love Wilde is a young girl on hiatus, living quietly in Winchester, England; mostly alone, drifting through her days with little attachment to the world around her. Her life changes on the day of her best friend's birthday, when she is introduced to Angelique's close-knit circle: Beyond Birthday, Eraldo, and A. What begins as a simple gathering slowly turns into something far more meaningful, she finds family. In their company, Love finds something she has never truly had before-a family.
For years, Winchester has been plagued by a string of bizarre and brutal murders, crimes that leave authorities unsettled and desperate for answers. When FBI agent Isabella Martinez contacts Love, asking her to assist with the investigation, Love is pulled back into a world she was never wanted to remain in. Despite her age, she is drawn into the case by fate.
As the investigation unfolds, the story begins to peel back the layers of Love's life. Her intelligence, her strange intuition, and her unnatural resilience hint at a past shaped by manipulation, neglect, and violence. The more she interacts with Winchesters strange world, the more the truth about herself begins to surface-along with the tragedy that has defined her existence long before Winchester ever did.
What starts as a mystery becomes a descent. Bonds are tested. And Love must face not only a killer lurking in the shadows, but the haunting reality of what she was created to be-and whether she can ever escape it and live as a normal girl.
