About the book
Twelve years ago, her life was shattered. But now, those who are responsible will face the consequences.
Jubilee Rathman was once a top student and renowned soccer goalie with dreams of attending Princeton. However, everything changed when her family was brutally murdered. Now, residing in a secure fortress on Purgatory Bay near Bleak Harbor, she is determined to seek revenge on those she holds accountable.
Her main target is former journalist Michaela ‘Mikey’ Deming, who Jubilee believes played a role in her family's troubles with the Detroit mafia. In a bid for payback, Jubilee takes Mikey's sister and daughter hostage, setting off a chain of ruthless actions in her pursuit of justice.
Bleak Harbor's police chief, Katya Malone, is still grappling with her inability to locate a missing boy. Leading the investigation into Jubilee's actions, she is resolute in preventing history from repeating itself, despite underestimating Jubilee's cunning nature.
With only the trail of clues left behind by Jubilee to follow, Mikey and Katya find themselves immersed in a world where nothing is as it seems, and trust is a luxury. As a dark climax approaches, the women must confront the sins of the past in order to rescue the kidnapped victims before it's too late.
