The rumors about Rosendale Ibañez were bad enough - until Echo found out she would be living with her.
On the same roof.
***
At their university, Rosendale is known for one thing - the massacre of her own family. With no apparent motive, no clear answers, and no punishment for the crime she was accused of committing, she has become a subject of fear, fascination, and endless speculation.
To Echo, Rosendale is someone best avoided. Beautiful, distant, and unsettlingly difficult to understand, she is everything the rumors make her out to be - or so Echo believes.
But living together means seeing the things that rumors cannot explain - the wounds Rosendale keeps hidden, the grief she refuses to speak of, and the fragments of a person buried beneath the reputation everyone else has given her.
The more Echo learns, the less certain she becomes of what she thought she knew. And as their uneasy proximity gives way to something neither of them quite knows how to name, the past begins to cast a longer shadow over their lives.
Because some secrets refuse to stay buried. Some wounds never truly heal.
And getting close to Rosendale might mean discovering that the truth is far more frightening-and far more complicated - than the rumors ever were.
