Young author Lowen Ashleigh receives an unusual offer from Jeremy Crawford: she is to complete the successful book series of his wife Verity Crawford. Since a mysterious accident, the bestselling author is no longer able to write herself. To familiarize herself with the work, Lowen moves into the family´s secluded estate and examines Verity´s extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts. In doing so, she stumbles upon disturbing records that paint a completely different picture of the writer and raise ever more questions about her past and her current condition. The deeper Lowen delves into the documents, the more difficult it becomes for her to distinguish between truth and fiction. At the same time, she develops feelings for Jeremy, which means that the unsettling discoveries increasingly influence her own life and decisions as well.
