After giving birth to twins for the powerful Todd family, Vera Bell is drained of her blood in the delivery room to save their chosen heir, Finn Todd—leaving her lifeless, clutching a blood-stained lucky charm. Seven years later, mute and stripped of her memory, Vera survives by scavenging while raising her daughter, Grace Bell.

Every smile, every touch, might be part of a deadly game. Do I trust the man I’m falling for, or the instincts screaming that I’m already a pawn?
