She was a girl ensnared by secrets and scars. He was a boy forged from power and frost. When an enigma collides with an Elite, they must either heal or descend into their own hell to survive. --- Seventeen-year-old Elaine Winters has one goal: to endure the torment of her bullies and ignore the new student who seems utterly out of place in their small town and public school. Alexander White is a boy she needs to stay away from-stunningly handsome, immensely rich, and dangerously cold. He is privileged beyond any normal measure. Catching his attention was a chance mistake. His relentless pursuit of her friendship, an anomaly. And when it turns into something deeper, it becomes the ultimate disaster in the making. But when buried secrets emerge from their caskets, Winter finds herself pulled into his world of city lights, power, mind games, and the elite atmosphere of boarding school. Soon, everything she thought she knew about the boy from her town is turned upside down. He becomes everything her heart dreads-and a danger her mind warns her of. She is his obsession, and he is her curse. Every belief is tested, but none of them is bound to win against the rule of Elites. A world where truth is what they make it. ◾ REVIEWS It is one of the best book I've ever read. Honestly it's worth publishing. -Missi_wei I've read this book a million times but I can never get over it. If you want to stop halfway through it...Then that is a big mistake. This book is the perfect blend of everything. Trust me, if you decide not to read this book then you are making a big mistake. -LushLyrics Wait...lemme process it all. This shit is way too deep. Like GOD AUTHOR YOU are amazing. Where do you even get these ideas? Oh God! -zara_yusuf

Annalise sees the world as though she is looking at it from afar. As if it's just a meaningless painting in a museum that she is observing. Admiring the beautiful strokes and the imperfections that somehow manage to make it even more intriguing. The last thing she would ever expect is someone reaching out from the painting and pulling her inside. The colors feeling as though she can practically taste them on her tongue. Suddenly being indulged by something she once saw as so two dimensional. Something that she once thought had no soul, no form of beauty beneath the surface. Only being able to see a pretty frame and gorgeous yet seemingly meaningless brush strokes. A life hidden in plain sight.

"I'm in love with you." How many times would I have to think about this, how many times, before she could hear it, feel it, see it in my eyes? "I'm in love with you." How could I make her see without telling her, without scaring her off... without losing her. I couldn't lose her.
