Description
Seventeen-year-old Natalia Ivanova Bennani has spent her whole life running from ghosts: her mother's death, her father's rage, the sister she never knew she had until it was too late. After surviving a childhood of bruises and Russian whispers she never wanted to understand, she takes her little sister Alena and flees halfway across the world in search of answers about a mother she barely remembers and a sister she's never met. But the flight back home never makes it. When Oceanic Flight 185 shatters over an uncharted island in the South Pacific, Natalia is stranded, with nothing but her will to survive - and no sign of Alena, the only thing in her life she's ever done right, she heads to the jungle to find her. On the other side of the island, ten-year-old Alice clings to the only story she knows how to tell herself: Her sister is alive. Jack's camp becomes her shelter, Kate her mother figure, Sawyer her reluctant protector - but all she wants is Nat back. In the suffocating heat and whispering jungle, rabbit holes twist into nightmares - and if Natalia wants to find Alena, she'll have to confront the darkest parts of herself: the rage she buried, the family secrets she fled, and the island that wants to keep them lost forever. When every lie is stripped away, what do you become? A survivor? A sister? A monster? Or something worse? Live together, die alone.
