A Semblance of Sorrow: A Hollowbrook Lie

What if the greatest tragedy of your life was a lie? And what if proving it meant becoming the next victim?

A year ago, Elowen Wren Hayes lost her mother to suicide. Now, at the secluded and prestigious Hollowbrook Academy, history has repeated itself in the most brutal way possible with the death of her only friend. The police call it a tragedy. The headmistress calls it a pattern of grief. But Wren knows it's murder.

The killer is clever, staging the death to mirror her mother's and using Wren's own sorrow as a weapon to silence her. But they made three fatal mistakes: a clumsy knot, the wrong paper, and a location her friend would never have chosen. They left a flaw in the semblance. Armed with nothing but her sharp mind and a burning need for justice, Wren must dive into the dark, secretive heart of Hollowbrook Academy. She is pitted against a powerful elite who will do anything to protect their legacy, led by the chillingly charismatic Rhys Maddock. As she uncovers a history of covered-up sins tied to a generations-old secret society, she makes a terrifying discovery: her mother's past is deeply entwined with the academy's shadows. The truth she seeks is hidden in a web of old money, older lies, and a curse that feeds on sorrow.
