📖 AUREVALE: Five Seats at One Table
At Aurevale Academy, wealth is not equal. It is hierarchy.
Behind iron gates and gold-threaded uniforms, the world's most powerful families send their children to be shaped into the next generation of leaders, heirs, and rulers. Outsiders call it the future. Students know it as something else entirely.
Control.
Inside the school, there are no real rules-only the ones the untouchable students choose to follow.
They call themselves The Crest.
Children of presidents, CEOs, and global empires, they skip classes without consequence, destroy reputations without punishment, and move through Aurevale like the school belongs to them. Because in a way, it does.
Five friends exist just outside their circle.
Elira wants to be seen.
Seren believes in what is right.
Lyra notices everything but says little.
Isolde trusts too easily.
Rowan understands power better than all of them.
But at Aurevale, wanting something is dangerous.
Because Elira doesn't stay outside the circle for long.
And once she steps into it, she changes everything-especially herself.
What begins as admiration turns into ambition.
Ambition turns into betrayal.
And betrayal becomes something no apology can fully erase.
In a world where money decides morality and status decides survival, friendship is not guaranteed to last.
Even when it once felt unbreakable.
