Tessa thought her eighteenth birthday would be the beginning of a new chapter. She never imagined it would be the night her entire world came crashing down. When armed men invade her home and take everyone she loves from her, Tessa is left alone with grief and one haunting question: WHY? But the answer lies buried in a part of her father's past that she never knew existed—a past filled with dangerous people, secret organizations, and promises he took to his grave. With nowhere else to turn, Tessa is drawn into Eagle, a secretive organization where broken young people are trained to become fighters. There, she learns that her family's deaths were not random, and that the people responsible may be closer than she ever imagined. As Tessa rises through Eagle's ranks, she begins uncovering secrets about her father, Ian—the organization's mysterious leader—and an enemy known as the Crows. But revenge has a price. When someone inside Eagle betrays them, Tessa discovers that the people who destroyed her family are still watching her. And they are already planning their next move. Some dead deserve to be remembered. Others deserve a candle. And some deserve revenge.
