The Jack of Clubs. The Ace of Spade. The King of Hearts. The Queen of Diamonds. These are the royals. They never show their faces, never reveal themselves, and yet the entire school bows to their whim. Teachers are their pawns. Students are their slaves. They haven't arisen in five years. Now they're back. 

•○•○•○•

Why?

Something is wrong; a murderous plot that is slowly kidnapping students without a trace, and a convicted criminal hiding their identity has infiltrated their school.

Annalise Rory Adler is a nobody. She fades into the background, notices things invisible to anyone else. She's a manipulator, an actor, a liar. She weaves stories, spins lies, and dissects secrets. And this one has her blood humming. Annalise has made it her mission to take the council down. And yet... why is she being recruited by them? 

And why on earth, is she being tasked to unravel this mystery?All Rights Reserved
