Shadows of the past

When Nessa was 12, she barely escaped a nightmare. She, Reign (14), and Gabriel (13) broke free from a secret undercover lab hiding dark experiments and darker people. But when the escape went wrong, the boys had no choice-they ran. Nessa was left behind, chased into the shadows by the men they were all trying to escape.

The boys got away. Nessa disappeared.

Four years later, they cross paths again-on the streets, at an illegal race, engines growling under neon lights. Reign and Gabriel don't recognize the girl behind the helmet. She races like she's got nothing to lose-because she doesn't.

At the finish line, sirens scream. The cops swarm the crowd. The boys vanish into the night.

But Nessa doesn't run.

Caught, unmasked, and thrown back into a world she barely remembers, Nessa's identity is finally uncovered-and so is her past. The authorities track down her biological family... but not all reunions are happy, and not all families are safe.
