At Starway Academy, power isn't earned, it's inherited. And Bridget Bell has neither.
She's the scholarship girl, the outsider everyone whispers about. Especially Astoria Rivers-the school's untouchable queen, fencing champion, and heir to one of the most powerful families in the city.
Astoria can't stand Bridget. The girl talks back, gets under her skin, and refuses to know her place. But when Bridget joins fencing, Astoria's sport, their rivalry turns into something neither of them can control.
Every match feels like a war. Every glare feels like a spark.
Until one night changes everything.
Now, between spilled wine, secret lessons, and stolen moments behind locked doors, Bridget and Astoria are caught between hate, hunger, and something dangerously close to love.
But in a world built on reputation and rules, one wrong move could destroy them both.
