In the quiet, sun-drenched suburbs of Texas, fourteen-year-old Elara Vance is the picture of teenage normalcy: intelligent, polite, and seemingly an ideal daughter and friend. But beneath her meticulously crafted facade lies a chilling truth—Elara is a psychopath, devoid of empathy and driven by a calculating mind that sees people as pawns in her intricate games.
As she navigates the complexities of high school and family life, Elara masterfully manipulates those around her: her loving, unsuspecting father, David; her trusting best friend, Sarah, who becomes an unwitting instrument in Elara's schemes; and even her observant English teacher, Mr. Harrison, who senses a darkness he can't quite pinpoint. When popular jock Jake Miller finds himself caught in Elara's orbit, the carefully constructed world around her begins to fray, threatening to expose the serpent hiding behind a perfect smile.
