After a tragic accident shatters her family, seventeen-year-old Mariah Bennani-Romano is forced to leave everything she has ever known behind. Sicily, her friends, her final year of high school, and most painfully, her father.
Determined to start over, Mariah's mother moves the family to England and enrolls her daughters at St. Elaris Academy, the country's most prestigious boarding school. To everyone else, it seems like a dream: world-class education, endless opportunities, and a future secured among the children of diplomats.
But behind the polished uniforms and perfect reputations lies a world ruled by status, ambition, and unspoken rules. As Mariah struggles to find her place, she is drawn into the complicated social hierarchy of St. Elaris. Every student seems to be fighting their own battle beneath the school's glamorous façade.
The deeper Mariah falls into this world, the more she realizes that wealth cannot buy happiness, power comes at a price.
