That twelve years ago, her life had been stolen from her. Growing up in the slums of Lagos, she learned not to dream-dreams didn't belong to people like her. All she wanted was a way out, a job to pull her and her sister out of poverty. But when the truth comes crashing down, her simple existence is ripped apart. She isn't just another struggling girl-she is the long-lost daughter of one of Nigeria's wealthiest families. And they want her back. Thrown into a world of untold riches, Denise is expected to adjust, to play her part in a life she never knew existed. But not all that glitters is gold.

To make things worse, Bellrich Academy-the elite school she now attends-is a battlefield of ruthless rich teens, social hierarchies, and cruel mind games. And lurking beneath it all? A serial killer picking off students one by one. In this world, failure is not an option. Survival means navigating deadly secrets, deadly people, and deadly truths.
