Amara never fit inside the life her mother, Paige, built-dripping in wealth, secrets, and the pills she forces Amara to swallow "for her own good." Paige has spent years trying to silence the woman's voice haunting Amara's mind. But the voice hasn't faded. It's only getting stronger. And now, it wants to tell a story. On Amara's eighteenth birthday, a chilling message from an unknown number pulls her to the backyard of a long-abandoned Detroit home. Beneath the dirt, she finds an old photograph . . . and an ancient stone carved with symbols that seem to breathe. Paige is in the picture but so are four strangers. Five faces. Six Greek names scrawled on the back. One is Sophia-the voice whispering in Amara's head. Another is Nemesis-goddess of revenge. As Sophia leads Amara down the trail Paige tried to bury, the past starts to bleed through the present: a group of college friends bound by a betrayal that never died, and a reckoning over a decade in the making. Amara digs deeper. Paige's perfect world crumbles. Long-buried secrets claw their way to the surface. And Sophia insists she knows exactly what happened back then . . . and what must happen next. But as old sins breathe new life, one terrifying question stalks Amara: Is she uncovering a legacy of revenge. -or losing herself to a darkness that exists only in her mind? A buried past. A mother's lies. A daughter caught between myth and madness.
