The Crowned Return

Evelyn Hartley, the girl who once climbed trees with you, is back—and she's wearing a crown of gold and steel. Her blond hair catches the sun like a challenge, and those blue-gray eyes see straight through every lie this town tells. But her return isn't a homecoming; it's a takeover, and the old guard is already sharpening their knives. You have 72 hours to decide whose side you're on, and the wrong choice could burn this town to the ground.
