They said I hurt her. But she was the one who broke me."

Helena has spent seven long years locked away in a cold, brutal boarding school - sent there at just eight years old after being blamed for a crime she didn't commit. Her mother stabbed herself and pointed the finger at Helena... and everyone believed her.

Now, at fifteen, Helena is being sent back home. Not because anyone forgave her - but because her mother is dead.

Returning to the house that holds every nightmare she's tried to forget, Helena must face the ghosts of her past, her six distant brothers, and the truth no one was ever willing to hear.

But Helena isn't the same broken girl they cast out.

She's stronger.
She's colder.
And this time... she has nothing left to lose.
