A riveting psychological thriller with a killer twist about a woman forced to confront the darkest moment in her childhood in order to move on from her past and open her heart to love.

Jeanie King is twelve years old when, in the middle of the night, her father comes home covered in blood. The next day, when he disappears, she isn’t surprised—he’d always been an absent father. However, when she realizes that he’s taken her beloved twin brother, Jamie, with him, her world is turned upside down. With no family left in rural Washington, Jeanie is ripped from the life she knows and from her childhood sweetheart, a boy named Maddox.
 
Twenty years later, Jeanie, now in England, keeps her demons at bay by drinking too much, sleeping with a married man, and speaking to a therapist she doesn’t respect. But her past catches up to her when Maddox shows up out of the blue to tell her he’s found her father after all these years. Despite having mixed feelings about confronting her father and seeing Maddox again, she agrees to fly back to the states with him. She’s desperate to find out what really happened that night, where her brother is, and why she was the one left behind.
 
At once a heart-pounding mystery and an affecting exploration of love and the familial ties that bind us, The Lost Kings is a propulsive read that will transport, move, and shock you.
