The same people who made her life hell at Easton Academy are back for more. Reed has survived kidnapping, murder, and betrayal during her years at the elite boarding school. Now she faces her most dangerous challenge yet. The rubble of Billings represents more than broken stone and mortar. It holds the legacy of every girl who lived there.
