If you read about my life in a book, you’d probably find it fascinating. From the inside, it’s just a suffocating nightmare. I used to know what peace felt like.

I’ve finally accepted that they are gone, but I’ll never accept how it happened. To find the killer, I have to survive the wolves closest to the throne. My parents' organization is bleeding from the inside, crawling with traitors, and my first order of business is putting a stop to the bleeding.
