Yara Exira Huxtable is a HBCU biology student by day and Midnight Ballerina at night. THE THIRD BOOK OF THE FATED DUPLICITY SERIES. Leaving Miami and Returning to Tallahassee for her sophomore year at FAMU, Yara promises herself one thing-control. Control over her heart, her choices, and the chaos that's followed her since the moment she started confusing love with survival. But control is an illusion. Because Slim hasn't forgotten. And the club isn't something you just walk away from-it's something that owns you, molds you... and demands payment in ways that don't come with warnings. Now living a double life as Yomi, Yara steps deeper into a world that rewards her silence and punishes hesitation. Every move she makes pulls her further from the girl she used to be and closer to a version of herself she may not be able to come back from. Meanwhile... Dallas is a biology lab away with strong boundaries. The silence between them speaks louder than their past ever did-and Campus temptations and drama may cause things to bubble over. Chi is fighting battles of his own-fatherhood, freedom, and a system that's ready to paint him as the villain for loving too hard. But one thing remains the same... he doesn't lose what's his without a fight. And Yara? She's caught in the middle of it all. Love that feels unfinished. Loyalty that feels forced. And danger that feels... inevitable. Because when abandonment shapes you... you stop asking who will stay- And start becoming someone who doesn't need anybody to. Even if it costs you everything.
