'In the middle of the night while all the girls are sleeping, a god comes back to life.' Genevieve Knight, studious and private student at the prestigious Palace School in Rome, finds herself drunk enough one night to hook up with Dante, the most popular boy at the neighbouring school, and to accept one of his absurd dares. What she expects is to wake up the next morning, put her head back in her books, and forget that it ever happened; but what she gets instead are blood-covered hands and the revelation that golden girl Belle Love -- also Gen's best friend -- has gone missing overnight. Gen's only hope for compassion and protection is Dante. Though she swears not to forgive him for what he put her through that night, she finds her feelings of resentment are quickly transforming into something a lot warmer. Something a lot harder to ignore. There isn't any time for her to focus on what these feelings might mean, though. The people around Gen, even her friends, are growing suspicious and agitated as Belle's case refuses to close. Gen is her dead friend's last hope -- but is that all? Do the secrets of Belle's death lie within Gen's missing memories from that same night? She'll find out soon enough. (ONC prompt 32)
