Barely moments after Ella Keplar regains her memories and agrees to join Operation Whitewash in the pursuit of justice, her plans are once again thwarted by the vengeful Chron. The mind-reading Grifter, holding Kara and Ethan hostage, has exactly the leverage he needs to squeeze information out of Ella. Assuming Ella and her friends escape unscathed, her battle has only just begun, for good can only win if every whitewashed lie is exposed - and not all revelations are bearable.

After months of working with the MTA in search of her captured best friend, Ella Kepler stumbles upon a secret that predates everything she understood about Kara’s kidnapping - including her own past. Armed with a truth that could either destroy or save lives, Ella works alongside a group of metahumans determined to battle injustice and bring every lie to an end. As Ella’s involvement thickens, she’s forced to realize that lies have consequences, enemies wear two faces, and even memories can’t be trusted.

The Grifters kidnap any metahumans - those with superhuman powers - living outside the Academy...like me. Only this time, they missed. For centuries, a covert organization of metahumans called the Academy has protected unaware civilians from the Grifters, creatures whose humanity is as deformed as their craggy faces. I’d spent 18 years ignorant of either group, and of their endless war. Then the Grifters found me. The Academy whisked me away to safety, and we waited for the danger to pass. Only it didn’t.
