Tides of Betrayal

Luke Stone's life goes up in flames—first in a fire that nearly kills him, then in a cruel betrayal that destroys him. He saves his stepsister, Skylar Stone, from the blaze, only to be branded as the arsonist by the very girl he rescued. As Luke endures merciless bullying and isolation, his spirit crumbles beneath the weight of universal contempt, leading him to a rooftop's edge where death seems kinder than the life he's been condemned to live.
