SYNOPSIS:
THEY’RE WATCHING. THEY’RE WAITING. AND THIS TIME, SHE WON’T PLAY BY THEIR RULES.
Every glance, every step, every word—Giselle is being watched. What started with hidden cameras and cryptic recordings has escalated into a deadly game of manipulation, staged photos, and a ghost from the past who may not be dead after all. Malcolm swears he’s protecting her, but his silence carries shadows she can’t ignore. Serena stands at her side, fierce and loyal, yet even friendship can turn under pressure. And Eva, sharp as glass, works to expose the truth before their enemies rewrite it first. Now the city itself has become the board. Myths are resurrected, lies spread faster than facts, and every symbol—especially the queen on Giselle’s windowsill—can be weaponized. To survive, Giselle must claim the board before her hunters make the final move.
One scar. One phrase. One note. Proof that the past isn’t finished—and neither is Elias.
