She should have died five years ago. But the girl once known as Aurelia Zhou didn't die. She burned. Now reborn as Rose Zheng, she hides inside the shadows of Whitethorn Academy-a forgotten school for the privileged and the dangerous. With a forged identity and a mind sharper than steel, she plays the part of a quiet transfer student. Unseen. Unremarkable. Untouchable. But secrets fester here. Secrets that lead back to her murdered parents. Secrets her uncle will kill to protect. And then there's Xavier Axel Black-the academy's seductive golden boy, a supposed sex addict with eyes that see more than they should. He has his own reasons for being here. He's hunting the same truth. But if he finds out who she really is... He could become her greatest threat-or her only salvation. Let the game begin. Let the roses burn.
