Embers
ONE FIRE. TOO MANY LIES. AND A TRUTH SOMEONE WILL KILL TO KEEP BURIED.
One year ago, the Winter Dance at Blackwater Cove High ended in flames. The tragedy left shattered lives, unanswered questions, and a community desperate to move forward. The survivors promised never to forget what happened that night, but some memories are easier to bury than others.
Tristan Cole remembers the fire. At least, he thinks he does.
Haunted by survivor's guilt, disturbing sleepwalking episodes, and gaps in his memory, Tristan is struggling to keep his life together when anonymous messages begin arriving, each one revealing details about the night everything changed. Someone knows what happened inside the burning school. Someone has been watching the survivors. And someone believes Tristan remembers more than he admits.
Then the threats become personal.
Jake Morgan, Blackwater Cove's golden-boy quarterback, receives warnings of his own, forcing him into an uneasy alliance with the boy he has spent years keeping at a distance. As the two begin investigating the tragedy, old friendships fracture, buried secrets surface, and the survivors discover that the official story of the Winter Dance may be built on a foundation of lies.
But the closer Tristan gets to the truth, the less he trusts his own mind. With evidence pointing toward the people around him and danger closing in from every direction, he must decide whom to believe before the past claims another victim.
In Blackwater Cove, everyone has something to hide. Everyone has a reason to lie. And the person standing closest to you may be the one you should fear most.
EMBERS is the gripping first installment in the DEADLY LIES series, a dark psychological thriller filled with secrets, betrayal, twisted loyalties, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
Some secrets don't stay buried. They burn.
