He's broken. She's hiding something. And Triumphant Academy isn't safe for either of them.
Tunde has spent years surviving in silence, the easy target of Lanre and his friends' cruelty. All he wants is to make it through each day unnoticed. But when Gloria - bold, fearless, and far too curious - walks into his world, everything begins to change.
Gloria seems determined to protect him, to pull him out of the shadows he's built around himself. But Gloria didn't come to Triumphant by accident. She came with a purpose. A dangerous purpose.
Now, as secrets unravel and hidden pasts collide, Tunde finds himself caught between survival, revenge, and something he never expected - love.
At Triumphant Academy, shadows are everywhere. Some protect. Some destroy. And some refuse to stay buried.

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.Complete
