Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to. It's the only way she can prove to her mother that she's worth it. And she'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means casting her pride aside to get help from the boy who loathes her existence. Meanwhile... Theo Sinclair is a weapon. An academic weapon that nobody can beat. Coming from an old money family where the expectations and bars are set high, Theo surpasses them all and is often pushed towards greatness by his family. Yet he has a big flaw: boredom. Because of his uncaring attitude towards everything and everyone around him, Theo is often alone. Deliberately avoiding attention and validation from peers; he thrives in the silence and rhythm of his own scheduled routines. He has only one rule; 'Never let myself feel things I can't control.' To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...

Damn, college really is the best part of yo life. Especially at an HBCU.

Tirzah Beaupré has known three things for certain: one, that her mother protected her from her father and his empire by taking her away from it. The empire, she always said, was doomed to destroy itself. And it would take her father and brothers with it when it fell. Two, that she is a self-serving snitch that trades in secrets- though she prefers to think truth teller rather than snitch. After her mother died, there was a plan in place for her. St. Sylvans. A private boarding school that doubled as foster care, which prided itself on it's exemplary education and ability to find only forever homes for its students. On the outside, it was beautiful. Surrounded by towering green forest, sunlight always visible through the trees. But inside, Tirzah learned quickly that it was survival of the fittest- or the smartest, and now that, she was. What benefits her, benefits her, and she has never cared what happens to people as a result of that. After all, if they are dumb enough to tell their secrets, or not cover them up well enough, it's all fair game. It has to be. Three, that she and Cole De'Ath are the only ones that know about the body buried deep in the words. She isn't remorseful- and she will never be. That act has been her most selfless yet. She likes to think that no flowers have bloomed over it for a reason- that the earth has swallowed it whole, like it should have done long before she and Cole had to put it there. Only one of those three things is not really a certainty. That her mother protected her from her father and his doomed empire. At least, not well enough. The Beaupré's have been searching for years, and now, Tirzah must return to everything and everyone her mother warned her about. There is one positive: Cole found his forever home in Briar Ridge, Canada- and that's where she is going. Or, only just now returning. She'll see him again. But she soon realizes that the Beaupré name is a curse. A bigger secret than she knows how to handle- for no
