When Eleanor "Nellie" Chambers shows up at Crown Lake Academy, a fancy all-girls boarding school, she knows this school is her ticket to a new & better life. But she also knows fitting in and learning the ropes isn’t going to be easy. Until she finds a guide.
Twenty five years later – 2022: When new girl Molly starts at Crown Lake, she hears whispers of a bully who used to wield power over the students with nothing but a mysterious journal. It’s considered a wives’ tale now; anyone who knew the real story long ago graduated. But when Molly finds one of those journals wedged in her room, she has to figure out…who is Heather? Why did she disappear? And what does she want? Molly is introduced to this exciting new world through her roommate, Ariadne, the youngest of three sisters who all go to Crown Lake. As Ari shows Molly the ropes, and the two try to put together the mystery of Heather, they find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations.
