Emma Kerrington is about to discover that her shattered mind was never broken, it was rebuilt as a weapon. Three women live in her skull. Each one a carefully crafted lie. Each designed to serve masters she doesn't remember choosing. But consciousness, it turns out, has its own immune system against violation. And Emma's is about to activate with the force of a psychological nuclear bomb. They tried to turn her into a filing cabinet, separate drawers for separate purposes, each one locked away from the others. But the human soul refuses to be organized by monsters. Despite their best efforts to fragment her into useful pieces, something magnificent in Emma's core keeps reaching across the artificial walls they built, whispering to her scattered selves that they were never meant to be alone.
