For seven years she slept beneath their bones while her father dressed the wreckage as mourning and buried the family he had destroyed on the floor above her bed.
The girl who once could not meet anyone's eyes has finally faced the whole of her life, and what remains is not broken but furious: she wants no trial and no mercy, only the same dark justice other women found when they walked into that carnival.
Rhys Castellan vows to give her that fate, and anything else she asks, a promise she always suspected was the most dangerous thing about him.
A woman in the dark wants him more than she ever will and has already killed to prove it, and her mother's disappearance still fails to make sense.
Quiet, patient, and terrifyingly thorough, he calls her his masterpiece and claims he rewrote her from nothing, until she wonders whether she loves a man who saves broken women or one who prefers them that way—and what he wrote over.
