‘Razor-sharp’ TIME

‘A riot’ PANDORA SYKES

‘Hard to put down, harder to forget’ STEPHEN KING

Athena Liu is a literary darling and June Hayward is literally nobody.

White lies When Athena dies in a freak accident, June steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it as her own under the ambiguous name Juniper Song.

Dark humour But as evidence threatens June’s stolen success, she will discover exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.

Deadly consequences… What happens next is entirely everyone else’s fault.
