The Council's Secret

Control was everything for fourth-year student Robbie Calix, who had spent years perfecting the balance of power, molding Calzen College into his domain, where he has shaped the school to his vision, his influence absolute, his authority unquestioned. He was untouchable, unchallenged, the reigning president for three consecutive terms. But now, as he prepares to secure his fourth and final term, a rule change threatens everything-shifting power from a single governing figure to a collective Student Council.

And then there was Elliot Marcus Lavian. Charming. Calculated. A rising leader whose presence disrupts the carefully constructed world Robbie has built. At first, Elliot was a variable to manage, a piece to maneuver-but soon, he became something else. Something irresistible, fascinating... consuming.

Now, as Robbie fights to maintain his grip on Calzen-and on Elliot-he faces a dangerous truth: power is a slippery thing, and as control begins to slip through his fingers, one question lingers:

How far will Robbie go to keep it?
