Carter Martinez thought a new school meant a fresh start. Instead, he steps into a world ruled by unseen powers and hidden wars. Gangs control the halls, alliances shift like smoke, and a silent master pulls the strings from the darkness. When Carter meets Hunter - a boy carrying his own dangerous secret - hope flickers in the gloom. But as betrayals deepen and violence erupts, Carter will face choices that could destroy everything he's fighting for... or save them all.
