Violet Ivory Miles never expected to find anything when she visited her father's recently dug grave. But there, buried beneath the dirt, is an old, worn journal one that wasn't there before. Upon opening it, Violet is stunned to discover a chilling connection between the journal's contents and a series of murders that have haunted her life for years. Each year, on her birthday, someone close to her has died at the hands of an unknown killer.
As Violet begins to piece together the journal's cryptic entries, she uncovers a dark pattern each victim, each clue, leads her closer to the terrifying truth: the killer might be someone she knows, someone close to her... perhaps even someone she trusts.
But with lies, betrayals, and secrets at every turn, Violet can't be sure who she can trust. With time running out and her own life in danger, Violet must navigate a web of deception, uncover the identity of the killer, and confront the dark secrets that bind her to these brutal deaths-before it's too late.
Will she uncover the truth in time, or will the killer strike again... this time, closer than she ever imagined?
