Gabriella grew up outside her wealthy family and learned the old arts on her own. When she finally returns to the household that gave her up, she finds it surrounded by people who want its money, its name, and its downfall — and relatives who are not sure they want her there either.
She doesn't wait to be welcomed. She takes on the schemers one by one, humiliating them in public and quietly dismantling the traps set for her family. But the man pulling the strings behind all of it is still unseen, and every enemy she exposes brings him closer to striking back. Gabriella has to protect a family that never protected her while hunting the one person nobody in the house will name.
