New Life

The queen is dead. But the damage Elizabeth Rostoff leaves behind to lives, hopes, and relationships lives on. Seven years ago, Peter Rostoff severed all ties with his family—including his sister, Kat. But at his father's insistence, he reluctantly returns for the funeral worn thin by his FBI position and burdened by a secret shame. But mostly by one haunting mystery—why the woman he loved like a mother disappeared… All those years ago, Natasha Sokolova thought abandoning Dmitry Rostoff and the children she'd come to love as her own was the right thing, the only thing, to do. Resurfacing after Elizabeth's death isn't the healing experience she'd prayed for, but a gut-wrenching discovery of yet more secrets, and news that could destroy her for good. Kat Rostoff lives in a bubble filled with her doting father and a mentor that helped mold her into a world-renowned artist. Yet nothing can fill the empty space, and a vague sense of guilt, left behind by the mother figure she barely remembers, and the brother who fled Paris seven years ago without looking back. Four lives, set on diverging paths with only a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. But will the queen's evil reach out from beyond the grave to destroy it for good?
