From the author of Bird Spotting in a Small Town, "a dark and deliciously tense modern fairy-tale, brutal and beautiful" (Sophie Hannah, New York Times–bestselling author).
A shattered memory. A deadly trap. A fight for freedom.
When Yalina wakes up in the hospital, she doesn't even recognize her own parents. Hoping to reconnect with her estranged brother, Yalina travels to Sheffield—but instead, she's lured into a house where girls are held captive and forced into sex slavery.
With only an old piano to keep her grounded, Yalina forms fragile bonds with the other women, vowing to protect a young girl. But as violence looms, she's forced to trust a stranger whose secret could upend her entire life.
Can Yalina escape her captors? And when the truth comes out, will she ever recover?
Tense, emotional, and unforgettable—this is a story of survival, courage, and the power of hope in the darkest moments.
