They called her a mistake. She's about to prove them wrong. ​Fifteen-year-old Lolana has always been a nomad of the heart. Raised by her fierce grandmother after cancer stole her mother, she grew up in the quiet comfort of Georgia, always wondering about the ghost in her bloodline-the father she has never seen. ​When her grandmother passes away, Lolana is uprooted and thrust into the rigid, unforgiving world of the Sherman Military Academy in Virginia, where her uncle serves as principal. Surrounded by perfect cousins and a system built on iron-clad discipline, Lolana finally demands the truth about her past. ​What she discovers is a cold calculation: her father is Sterling Vance, an ultra-wealthy billionaire from a family of old money who views her existence as a stain on his perfect legacy. He didn't just leave; he denied her. ​Faced with the ultimate rejection, Lolana doesn't break. She hardens. Vowing never to recognize the man who abandoned her, she resolves to use the strict discipline of the academy to forge herself into a weapon of success. Sterling Vance wanted to bury her in silence, but Lolana is about to make herself impossible to ignore.
