But between being a straight-A student, ROTC captain, and the girl everybody loves to hate, life was already doing the most. Then came De' Andre-mysterious, fine as hell, and way too interested in Stormi for no clear reason. As their slow-burn connection grows stronger, so does the pull she can't explain. Add in her best friend Vi acting weird, her parents whispering secrets like it's a business deal, and a strange new strength rising inside her... and suddenly, turning seventeen isn't just a milestone. It's a rebirth. But Stormi's world is about to crack wide open. Because being a queen doesn't just mean running things-it means uncovering the truth about her bloodline, her destiny, and the monsters she never knew were watching her all along. This ain't your average coming-of-age story. It's giving trauma, power, love, betrayal, and a whole lotta chaos. Because even queens have demons.

However, Anne only becomes more interested in Gavin, and she decides to take a prank her friends played on him a step further.

He now lives with his grandfather who is in a deteriorating state of Alzheimer's disease. It's a secret that Gavin must keep. Nobody can know or they will separate Gavin from his grandfather and put them both in state run homes. Gavin's plan is to stay invisible.

Everyone needs friends, and now this Anne girl has singled him out. Part of him aches for human contact, and he's not immune to her quirky sense of humor, but she might be totally insane.
