Within the ivy-draped walls of Grimrose, the truth is more terrifying than fiction: girls are dying, and the stories shaping their fates are darker than anyone imagined. Nani, Yuki, Ella, and Rory thought uncovering the source of the curse would save them–but knowing the story is only the beginning. Escaping it is another matter entirely.
As the lines between destiny and defiance blur, each girl must confront the shadows clawing at her story. Can the girls change their own stories and break the curse? Or must one of them die to end it forever?
