The tree bears fruit only when she whispers a lie to it. In pursuit of justice and revenge, Faith hunts through her father's possessions and discovers a strange tree. And she knows, when her father is discovered dead shortly thereafter, that he was murdered. She knows that her family moved to the close-knit island of Vane because her famous scientist father was fleeing a reputation-destroying scandal. She knows secrets no one suspects her of knowing. But inside, Faith is full of questions and curiosity, and she cannot resist mysteries: an unattended envelope, an unlocked door.
