One Psychopath • Multiple Deaths • One Goal
Aurora Reichmann has only ever wanted one thing. To uncover the truth behind her unusual appearance, reclaim the missing fragments of her memory and be reunited with her family. Haunted by a past she can barely remember, she sets out on a desperate search for answers.
But as her memories gradually return, they reveal dark secrets---secrets someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. One by one, those around her fall victim to a ruthless killer, and Aurora finds herself trapped in a deadly game where trust is a luxury she cannot afford.
With danger closing in and the weight of her trauma threatening to break her, Aurora must confront the horrors of her past before it destroys her future. To survive, she'll need to face the darkness within and the psychopath hunting her before she loses everyone she loves.
