When top student Ophelia Rose trades her sleepy hometown for the glittering skyscrapers of New York City, she expects culture shock-not a mystery. Sent to live with grandparents she's never met and attend the city's most elite academy, Ophelia must navigate snobby classmates (especially Cooper, whose smug smile she'd love to wipe off) while chasing her lifelong dream of Harvard. But as she settles into her new life, whispers of something darker begin to swirl: the school's brightest pupils are vanishing without a trace. Determined not to become the next to disappear, Ophelia launches her own investigation-using every ounce of her top-of-the-class mind to follow breadcrumbs from shadowed hallways to glittering penthouse parties. With Cooper reluctantly at her side, old rivalries give way to uneasy alliances, and buried family secrets emerge, threatening to upend everything Ophelia thought she knew about her parents-and the grandparents who'll do anything to keep the past buried. In a city that never sleeps, can Ophelia unravel the truth before it's lights out for good?
