Lylah Gray. 
The girl who vanished in the flames. 

~~~

Years have unfurled since that fateful night that took her family; a housefire infamous for its ruin of the Grays. 

Supposedly.

Because, unknowing to the watching eyes of her small hometown, someone was spared. Beneath the ashes, Lylah Gray hides in plain sight, a silent observer, a ghost among the living.

Her town believes it was a tragic accident, a mere twist of fate - a faulty pipe, a candle's treacherous flame. 

Lylah knows better. 

Now, she has returned from her self-imposed exile with a new mission and, simultaneously, her greatest challenge: uncover the truth while guarding her real identity, especially from a girl she once knew.

A girl now bearing scars as deep as her own. Aurelia Hathaway. 

As Lylah delves into the secrets of that haunting night, the line between the past and present blurs, and the walls around her heart begin to crumble. 

The truth has always danced just beyond her reach. And now she must catch it before it is gone forever.All Rights Reserved
