THE GIRL THEY BURIED

Some girls disappear.
Serene was buried.

At seventeen, Serene has already learned what most people spend a lifetime avoiding-how to survive being unwanted.

Six schools in a year.
Too many foster homes to count.
And one fight that finally convinces the system she's more trouble than she's worth.

So they send her away.

Not to detention.
Not to another home.

Somewhere else.

Deep in the Colorado mountains, hidden behind locked doors and quiet hallways, Serene begins to realize the truth:

The other kids here weren't sent.
They were taken.

Some of them follow the rules.
Some of them pretend nothing is wrong.

But a few of them know better.

And then there's the voice.

Not in the room.
Not in the hallways.
A voice that seems to be everywhere at once-and nowhere at all.

The longer Serene stays, the more she begins to understand one terrifying truth:

This facility wasn't built to help them.
It was built to turn them into something else.
