Of course, when you       live with a murderer, this is impossible. Even the subtlest of       spectres is bound to be noticed.\n\nWhich leads to the next rule.\n\nTwo: If you can't be invisible, be useful.\n\nEveryone in this quiet lakeside community knows that Alva's father       killed her mother, all those years ago. There wasn't enough       proof to arrest him, though, and with no other family, Alva's been       forced to live with her mother's murderer, doing her best to survive       until she can earn enough money to run away.\n\nOne of her chores is to monitor water levels in the loch-a task       her father takes very seriously. Their family has been the guardian       of the loch for generations. It's a cold, lonely task, and a       few times, Alva can swear she feels someone watching her.\n\nBut the more Alva investigates, the more she realizes that the       truth can be more monstrous than lies, and that you can never escape       your past . . .
