Princess-marigold
Emery Cole has lived in Riverdale her whole life-long enough to know that everyone talks, but not everyone tells the truth. With a blended family that's equal parts loving and chaotic, and an older sibling away at college who still checks in like a personal guardian angel, Emery has perfected the art of keeping her own secrets buried while collecting everyone else's.
But when she witnesses something strange near the Southside-something no one can explain and everyone seems determined to ignore-her curiosity becomes obsession. The deeper Emery digs, the more she realizes Riverdale's rumors are nothing compared to its realities. Shadows move where they shouldn't. People disappear without answers. And some truths were buried long before she was born.

Now Emery must decide whether uncovering Riverdale's darkest secrets is worth exposing her own...
Because in Riverdale, the truth isn't just dangerous.
It's deadly
