Black string: fractured trust (book #1)

Some secrets never stay buried.

They claw their way through the dirt, desperate to see the light again darkening lives in the process.

Three years ago, Elena Ashburn's world went up in flames. One night shattered everything she thought she knew, stole the life she almost had, and left behind questions she was too afraid to ask.

She promised herself she'd never look back. After all, she was guilty. And that's what her mother would have wanted.

But the past has a way of refusing to stay where it belongs.

Now, it's pulling her back into a world of dangerous people and buried secrets she never knew existed, led by a boy who claims to be her protector.

She knows she shouldn't trust him. She knows following him could doom her.

But when he seems to know more about her life than she does, Elena begins to wonder if she ever had a choice.

As old secrets resurface and impossible decisions pile up, a terrifying truth begins to emerge: The night she spent years desperately trying to escape wasn't the end of everything.

It was only the beginning.
