When small-town dancer Taytum Reid transfers mid-year into Westbridge Preparatory, she expects pressure, not survival. But one system glitch changes everything - landing her in the co-ed athlete dorm, rooming with Andrew Stark, the school's untouchable football captain with a reputation carved from silence and fear.
Rumors spark overnight. Whispers twist into wildfire.
To protect her dance career, Taytum strikes a deal that pulls her into a world ruled by rival kings - Andrew, and his estranged stepbrother Bellamy Michels, a musician who writes songs like confessions.
The two boys used to be brothers. Now they're enemies. And she's the spark neither of them saw coming.
Between midnight encounters, whispered confessions, and friendships that feel like home, Taytum discovers that surviving Westbridge isn't about picking sides - it's about finding her people, and choosing to stay soft in a world built on armor.
