Cora Valentine has her whole life--and a shot at the Olympics--ahead of her. But when she's kidnapped on Halloween, her name is splashed across headlines not as an athlete but as a victim. Not even her safe return changes that, especially since no one is caught for the crime.

Hounded by the public, Cora's time as a missing girl and member of the Magnificent Eight has its consequences. Years later, when Cora has her own daughter, she's determined to leave the past behind for a better life. Her daughter will never face those fears. And Cora will never face them again.

But four years later, on Halloween, the past comes knocking.

Now, Cora's daughter is gone, and to get her back, Cora must take someone else's child.

Clearly, whoever took her all those years ago isn't done with her yet...but as long as they have her daughter, Cora's not done with them either.
