Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden. In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees...and a collection of precious “butterflies” - young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens.

Four months after the explosion at the Garden, a place where young women known as the Butterflies were kept captive, FBI agents Brandon Eddison, Victor Hanoverian, and Mercedes Ramirez are still entrenched in the aftermath, helping survivors in the process of adjusting to life on the outside. With winter coming to an end, the Butterflies have longer, warmer days of healing ahead.

Ellie y Rebecca son dos estudiantes de la universidad de Florida que tratan de mantenerse al día con sus estudios, divertirse con sus amigas y soportar el ambiente machista que prevalece en su escuela.

Una niña perdida muy cerca del cuartel general del FBI se convertirá en el inesperado vínculo que puede resolver una terrible tragedia del pasado. Brooklyn Mercer, de ocho años, fue vista por última vez cuando regresaba de la escuela y desde entonces no se sabe nada de ella. A pesar de que podría ser un caso más para los agentes del FBI Eliza Sterling y Brandon Eddison, entre más conocen los estremecedores detalles que envuelven el crimen, este se torna cada vez más indescifrable y complejo.

Cuando la agente Mercedes Ramirez encuentra en la entrada de su casa a un niño golpeado, cubierto de sangre y aferrado a un oso de peluche, no se puede imaginar que ese brutal evento es solo la punta de un iceberg siniestro. El chico le cuenta que sus padres fueron asesinados por un ángel que luego lo llevó hasta su porche para que ella lo cuidara. Sin embargo, no se trató de cualquier asesinato, sino de uno especialmente atroz, más violento que cualquiera que la Unidad de Delitos contra Menores hubiera enfrentado antes.

Florida journalism undergrad Rebecca Sorley is like any other college student. She tries to keep up with her studies, her friends, and her hot-tempered roommate, Ellie, who regularly courts trouble with the law. When a male student's remains are found in alligator-infested waters, the university warns students to stay away from the reptiles. But then a second body shows up, and the link is undeniable. Both men belonged to the same fraternity and had a reputation for preying on and hurting women.

Ophelia Castellan will never be just another girl at Elsinore Academy. Seeing ghosts is not a skill prized in future society wives. Even when she takes her pills, the bean sidhe beckon, reminding her of a promise to her dead mother. Now, in the wake of the Headmaster's sudden death, the whole academy is in turmoil, and Ophelia can no longer ignore the fae. Especially once she starts seeing the Headmaster's ghosts - two of them - on the school grounds.

When Agent Mercedes Ramirez finds an abused young boy on her porch, covered in blood and clutching a teddy bear, she has no idea that this is just the beginning. He tells her a chilling tale: an angel killed his parents and then brought him here so Mercedes could keep him safe. His parents weren’t just murdered. It was a slaughter - a rage kill like no one on the Crimes Against Children team had seen before. But they’re going to see it again. An avenging angel is meting out savage justice, and she’s far from through.

Eight-year-old Brooklyn Mercer has gone missing. And as accustomed as FBI agents Eliza Sterling and Brandon Eddison are to such harrowing cases, this one has struck a nerve. It marks the anniversary of the disappearance of Eddison’s own little sister. Disturbing, too, is the girl’s resemblance to Eliza - so uncanny they could be mother and daughter. With Eddison’s unsettled past rising again with rage and pain, Eliza is determined to solve this case at any cost. But the closer she looks, the more reluctant she is to divulge to her increasingly shaken partner what she finds.
