The Scarlet Rose

Three years ago, Sophie Lane uncovered a cruel truth: her adoptive parents took her in not out of love, but to shield their biological daughter, Ruby Lane, from bad luck. Fueled by jealousy over Sophie’s beauty, Ruby persuaded their father to send Sophie to an old man as a bed companion. In a desperate act of self-defense, Sophie fought back, injuring the man, which gave her family the perfect reason to lock her away in Cray Asylum—a place as nightmarish as hell itself.
