Calliope Sinclair thought she had escaped her past. After a brutal assault shattered her innocence and drove her to run away, she spent years surviving in the shadows-fighting, stealing, and collecting secrets for an underground society that saved her life but bound her in silence. Now, forced to return to the summer home where it all began, Calliope is a different person: colder, stronger, and determined not to let anyone close enough to hurt her again.
But the boys she once called family-Finn, Rowan, and their older brother North-have also changed. Finn is angry, holding a grudge fueled by misunderstandings and secrets he doesn't yet know. Rowan, the sweeter twin, just wants to reconnect, but Calliope isn't the girl who used to run around barefoot with him in the sun. And North, the eldest, harbors his own regrets-haunted by the memory of Calliope on the night everything fell apart.
As Calliope navigates the tangled web of emotions, secrets, and unspoken truths between them, old wounds threaten to reopen. With the threat of her dangerous past lurking just out of sight, Calliope must decide whether to keep running-or face what happened that summer, once and for all.
In a world where loyalty and love are intertwined with lies and betrayal, Calliope's return might just be the storm that tears them all apart.
