Alaric Miller thought he was ready for his sophomore year of college. That is, until he sits beside Corvus McCoy on the first day of class. Corvus is sharper, more confident, and very much the same boy Alaric spent a year trying to forget. Corvus remembers him. Alaric pretends he doesn't.
Their reunion should have ended there. But Alaric's panic pushes him into a world of ego, parties, and toxic masculinity he barely recognizes himself in.
Corvus sees right through him. And he refuses to be anyone's secret ever again.
As Alaric spirals deeper into a toxic culture, Corvus begins slipping away: working too much, sleeping too little, and quietly preparing for something Alaric doesn't understand... until he finds the paperwork. Corvus isn't just struggling in school. He's planning to leave it behind entirely. Not because he wants to, but because he's out of options.
Suddenly, Alaric isn't just afraid of the truth about himself; he's afraid of losing Corvus to a future he feels powerless to stop.
Now both Alaric and Corvus have to choose: the life they think will keep them safe...
or the person they risk losing to a system that wasn't designed for them.
