At St. Edmonds, everything is supposed to be orderly-uniforms pressed, schedules rigid, reputations spotless. But Rowan Hales has never been one for order. Slight, curvy, and endlessly artistic, he keeps to the edges, sketchbook always in hand, capturing the world as he sees it.
And the one thing he can't stop drawing? Elias Voss. Tall, impossibly strong, and feared by everyone at St. Edmonds, Elias is everything Rowan is not: confident, untouchable, a storm in human form.
Rowan sketches him in secret, careful to stay unnoticed. But when Elias catches him, the lines between torment and obsession blur. The way Elias looks at him-hungry, teasing, impossible to read-leaves Rowan both terrified and inexplicably drawn in.
In a school where every misstep is noticed and every secret could ruin you, Rowan and Elias navigate a dangerous game of power, desire, and control. And the closer they get, the harder it is to tell who's really in charge.
