Джулиет Ферърс не е тази, за която се мисли. Нищо в света ѝ не е такова, каквото изглежда. Мисли си, че най-накрая е победила Възобновителите. Мисли си, че най-сетне е поела контрола върху живота си, силите и болката си в свои ръце. Но всъщност само е започнала да разнищва лъжите, съпътстващи живота ѝ.
