When actress Evie Lawrence is injured in a shocking hit-and-run accident, she desires nothing more than to retreat to her woodland home in Wicklow to recover. However, when she is forced to acknowledge her need for help, she reluctantly opens up her solitary life to allow her grand-niece Amber, practically a stranger, to move into Heronbrook to take care of her.

Evie, who has been estranged from her sister's family for many years, vows to keep Amber at a distance, ensuring that her secrets and the truth of what happened at Heronbrook years ago remain buried. Amber is initially preoccupied with the recent collapse of her career and her love life, the details of which she keeps to herself. However, she soon becomes incredibly curious about the rift in her family. When unsettling incidents begin to make Evie's secluded home feel less peaceful and increasingly dangerous, Amber starts to suspect that what happened to Evie wasn't an accident at all—and the person responsible is still targeting her.

But can Amber persuade Evie to confront the past and uncover the truth before it's too late? This novel is a testament to Zoe Miller's talent for creating compelling characters and intricate plots, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.
