In the quiet village of Hawthorne, Joslyn was the village outcast. Having barely survived a house fire that killed her parents as a child, she was left permanently disfigured with no friends or family. Stuck living as the village elder's servant as the only way to pay off her family's debt, her banal day-to-day life suddenly brightens when a beautiful woman arrives and not only acknowledges Joslyn, but also becomes her one and only friend. However, that happiness is short-lived as Joslyn awakes one morning to find that her new friend is missing in a wake of destruction and she's been accused of her murder. When all seems lost, another stranger walks into town.

They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.
