Destiny grows up in poverty, with her mother treating her more as a burden than a child. The mother-of-pearl mirror becomes her secret companion, showing her glimpses of a different future—sometimes hopeful, sometimes frightening. She learns resilience in the face of abandonment and cruelty, surviving not by her mother’s teachings but by the strength she discovers within herself.

A single act of violence ignited a fire within one family that never burned out. Years ago, in Cypress Hollow, a quiet restaurant turned into a scene of blood and ruin. Two children and two grandparents survived, but none walked away whole. The story of that day has haunted the town ever since, its secrets buried but not forgotten. Now vengeance has come due. In Cypress Hollow, the past never stays buried—and the ghosts of that tragedy have begun to rise. One by one, those tied to that day are hunted down, their deaths echoing through the town like a reckoning.
