Summary

Taryn Cornick can barely remember the library in her old family home. Since her sister was murdered, she's forgotten so much.

Now it's all coming back. The fire. The thief. The scroll box.

People are asking questions about the library. Questions that might relate to her sister's death.

And something called The Absolute Book.

A book in which secrets are written - and which everyone believes only she can find.

They insist Taryn be the hunter. But she knows the truth.

She is the hunted . . .
