Seventeen-year-old Annabeth prefers the fantasy of her books and paintings to reality - because in reality, her mom is dead, and it was all her fault. She vows to make her dads life easier in return. But upon accompanying him to his friends secluded manor, he goes missing in the woods. Annabeth suspects the manors heir Griffin knows more about the disappearance than hes letting on. Hes irritable, removed, and hes under police investigation for the mysterious accidents that keep happening at his familys estate. Annabeth fears her father isnt lost, but rather a victim of something sinister. She launches her own investigation, tracing clues that whisper of myth and legend and death, until she stumbles upon a secret. One that some would die to protect, others would kill to expose - and which twists Annabeths fantasy and reality together in deadly new ways.
