Scarlett Moran's sweet sixteen turns into a public shame, with Vivienne—the orphan chosen to stand in her place—mocking and degrading her in a maid's uniform. But the nightmare shifts when Elena, the mother stolen from her ten years earlier, returns alive and exposes the lies holding the family together. With the truth finally breaking through, Scarlett and Elena rise against the empire that used them, expose the plot that separated them, and reclaim every stolen piece of their lives.
