Overview

The day Xava came home and found that her parents had vanished. Not in a fire, not in an accident-just gone. Their beautiful farmhouse, once a sanctuary of safety and laughter, became a terrifying silence. At nine, Xava's little sister Sarya still waited, trusting Xava's smile. Without telling the police or child services, Xava had only one choice: build the perfect lie. She became the perfect parent. Over the next eight years in the whispering town of Roisonville, Xava sacrificed her childhood and her future to protect her sister. Learning to pay bills, forge signatures, and endure endless sleepless nights, she mastered a lie built on the foundation of bone-deep anxiety. But she wasn't alone. As the secrets mounted, Xava grew close to two other girls-Zya, the brilliant computer hacker haunted by the town's cruel rumors about her parents, and Yuviana, the quiet observer scarred by years in foster care-and brought them into her secret for survival. They were bound by profound trauma and mutual devotion. They were the children the system failed, creating their own fierce, unbreakable family. But the secrets that claimed their parents still lie hidden in Roisonville's dark heart, and the architects of their loss are awaiting their next inevitable move.
