The secret

The Secret

By Emmy Ruane

Olivia Wiles and Jacob Horan have known each other for as long as they can remember. From scraped knees on the playground to quiet nights spent talking beneath the stars, they've always been inseparable. In a town where nothing ever seems to happen, they thought they knew everything about each other.

They were wrong.

As the years pass, friendship grows into something deeper-something neither of them can deny. Jacob is loyal, protective, and the one person Olivia trusts more than anyone. But no matter how much she loves him, there's one thing she can never tell him.

The truth.

Because Olivia isn't an ordinary girl.

She comes from a family of heroes gifted with extraordinary powers passed down through generations. For years, she's lived by one rule: protect the secret at all costs. But when a series of mysterious attacks strikes their town, the truth she's fought so hard to hide begins slipping through the cracks.

And she's not the only one keeping secrets.

As danger closes in, Olivia's best friend Emma and Jacob uncover the truth about her powers, turning their lives upside down. Suddenly, the friendships they've built are tested by fear, betrayal, and questions no one wants answered. While enemies emerge from the shadows, Olivia discovers that the greatest threat may not be the villains hunting her family-it may be the lies they've been telling all along.

The deeper Olivia digs into her family's past, the darker the truth becomes.

Secrets about her parents. Secrets about her powers. Secrets about a long-lost relative whose return could destroy everything Olivia loves.

Now, with her family in danger, her friends caught in the crossfire, and the town turning against her, Olivia must decide who she can trust before it's too late. But every answer she uncovers only leads to more questions, and every choice comes with a price.
