Is he cheating?
Is he dead?
The truth, she soon finds out, is so much worse than she could’ve imagined.
As she struggles to make sense of her new and chilling reality, she must decide whether to stand by the man she loves and help protect him or walk away and let him pay for his sins.

Hotel Lilith holds terrible memories for Cait Du Bois.
The darkest night of her life happened within its walls.

Someone is determined to bring the truth to light. If they succeed, the life Cait has built based on secrets could come crashing down around her. And, if they want her to pay for what she’s done, her lies may be the least of her concerns.
Someone’s out for blood.
