Now, bound to a wheelchair, her dreams shattered, she faces an agonizing new reality. But a forced move to the quiet, rainy town of Oakridge, Oregon, offers an unexpected chance for a fresh start. Can Eleanor navigate a world stripped of her athletic identity, find new purpose, and perhaps, discover a strength she never knew she had in the most unexpected of places?

Ludo’s life is a battlefield. Plagued by mysterious seizures, haunted by a terrifying 'sleep paralysis,' and tormented by bullies, her only escape is writing. But when her fictional crime family—the ruthless 'Lioness,' 'Brawler,' 'Brains,' and 'Jezebel'—bleeds into reality, Ludo discovers her stories aren't just fiction. A chance encounter with a man with blood-red eyes and a terrifying 'seizure' at school ignite a chain of events that pulls her into a shadowy world she created. Now, Ludo must confront the terrifying truth: are her seizures a curse, or a connection to a dangerous, real-life criminal underworld? Can she survive the family she wrote into existence, or will her own narrative be her undoing?
