[CRUEL SUMMER SERIES #01]
It happened last summer.
Celeste, one of the campus princesses, has always lived in the shadow of her older sister-The Campus Queen. Determined to surpass her, Celeste comes up with a bold plan: to do everything her sister once did. One of those things is experiencing the wild and making memories at summer camp.
There, she meets Hera-a kindhearted, pure, and almost childlike girl who loves nature and adventure. A true girl scout at heart.
What began as a one-time experience soon became a yearly tradition. Every summer, Celeste returned to that same camp for one reason: to see Hera again.
But one cruel summer changed everything. A single event shattered their bond and left Celeste hating the season she once loved-especially last summer.
Now, fate brings them back together... not at camp, but on campus.
