Wealthy Prisoner Bird Vengeful Daughter

Summary

One moment, she was Tala, a California sweetheart cherished by her brilliant lawyer father. The next, a twisted verdict sentences her to life as a canary in the gilded cage of her estranged mother and new, powerful stepfather. She may be a victim forced into this conspiracy, but she's determined to be the player who overturns the entire board. From shattering the facade of a hypocritical dinner party to digging up the dirty secrets hidden beneath the family's glamorous surface, Tala arms herself with thorns, using her sharp wit as a weapon to tear everyone's masks to shreds. But as cracks begin to appear in the image of her "perfect" father, and she uncovers the real reason for her mother's hidden fear, Tala realizes the truth behind the trial is far darker than she ever imagined. In a war where no one can be trusted, her only light is the boy next door—the one person who sees past her hardened disguise. Navigating a world of treacherous family politics and dark secrets, she vows to take back everything that was stolen from her: her freedom, and the truth.
