Silence. Hush. Censor. Muffle. My mother's words never echo in my head. However, my first calling replicates her last. They muzzled her voice, Luna's spirit corrupt, crushed with pressure to remain obsolete. She exchanged her last breath so I could have another. Asher held me in his arms as they took her from us forever. In those last hours together, he shielded me against the open wound that began to bleed in our hearts. 7 YEARS LATER. The new school is buzzing, and my eardrums seem excited about the attention. Lennox Krause held me confined to a Texas boarding school since the death of my mother, his once lover. Now we are back together all under one roof. The twins, Calhoun and Kalonie. The eldest of us, Leonie. But with new beginnings come old quarrels and loathsome jealousy. I thought losing my mother was the hardest thing I would have to endure in my short life. Turns out fighting for my life, all in the name of survival, is the least of my worries.
