Before someone tried to kill her, Bellatrix Holloway didn't think curses existed. Bellatrix is sent to a remote boarding school where nothing feels normal, especially not her, after a blood– soaked attack leaves her scarred and her world in ruins. She discovers letters, memories that are forbidden, and a locket that is tied to an old curse that whispers truths too dangerous to hear while she is plagued by visions, entangled in secrets, and attracted to mysteries from her past. Bellatrix finds herself unravelling a conspiracy much older and darker than she ever could have imagined when the past of her deceased parents reappears in twisted fragments and a mysterious new professor appears to know more than he should. But the past isn’t dead. It’s waiting. And it’s coming for her. Some bloodlines are cursed. And some truths are fatal.
