"When you hear the banshee's shrill cry
A person, high born, will die
A murder, quite often 
Is what fills the coffin 
Then under the turf, he will lie."

--------

Six years ago, ten friends went to a party; only four of them came out. 

Their high school graduation was supposed to be the start of the rest of their lives. A last get together before they went off to college, but little did they know what horrors fate had in store for them. 

Scarlett was one of the four that made it out; her twin sister Sofia wasn't so lucky. 

Broken after the atrocities she witnessed that night, Scarlett swore she would never return to the small mountainous town of Ashwick, Colorado that is until the sudden death of her estranged father brings her back to the very place that has haunted her every moment. 

Scarlett must confront her demons if she hopes to finally be able to put the nightmares of that night to rest, but she soon discovers that the past isn't easy to forget. 

When murders that echo Ashwick's tragic history start to happen again, it's up to Scarlett to figure out who's behind the grisly killings and unravel the dark truths buried beneath the town.

Elisa is on the run from her parents' past, and the rucksack full of secrets that she carries is key to protecting her estranged brothers from an unseen enemy. ***** Entrusted with secrets from her family's past, Elisa West has been on the run for half of her life. She's always kept people at a distance, jumping from foster home to foster home, and now she's landed with her biological family. Her brothers haven't seen her since she was a toddler, and don't know what to make of the strange closed-off teenager or her secrets. But when she finally opens up about murder, scientists, and dangerous experiments, it becomes evident that Elisa hasn't just come home to reunite with her family. She's come back to destroy the terrible legacy that haunts them.
