Summary
Kat Byers is running on fumes.
Will's back, but not the same. Joyce has Bob. Jonathan has Nancy. And Kat? She's got scars, a family she won't let see her crack, and a dangerous habit of throwing herself into the fire before anyone else burns.
The Upside Down isn't finished with Hawkins, and shadows are tightening around Will. Kat swears she'll protect him, even if it burns her out completely. Too bad the universe keeps shoving her into Steve Harrington's orbit. She doesn't want him close. Not after last year. But when monsters crawl back into Hawkins, Kat finds herself side by side with the Nerd Brigade, a nail-bat, and the boy she swore she'd never speak to again.
Set during Stranger Things season 2, this is a retelling through the eyes of the oldest Byers sibling. Kat has a sharp tongue, a soft heart, and a lot of emotional damage. This story is about trauma, grief, found family, and the girl standing at the center in combat boots and smudged eyeliner with no idea how to stop holding it all together.
