   Summary

   Rue Bennett has always known that survival comes with a price.

   After everything that happened in East Highland, she’s left standing, barely, while everyone else gets to be forgiven in death. Haunted by what she’s done and what she’s lost, Rue faces a world eager to decide what she deserves.

   Justice isn’t clean. Love isn’t either. And sometimes the only way to live with the truth is to carry it quietly. Was she ever the villain, or just the only one who survived long enough to be called one?
