Behind the gilded gates of Caxton Academy, where privilege reigns and secrets fester, a killer walks among us.
My sister's murder shattered my world, thrusting me into the opulent chaos of this elite school. Now, I'm trapped in a web of lies and forbidden desires, where every smile is a mask, and every touch could be my last.
Gabriel Thorne, the smoldering prime suspect, is now my unlikely ally - a dangerous obsession. Our connection is electric, blurring the lines between desire and revenge.
Each revelation brings me closer to the truth, but also deeper into the treacherous underbelly of Caxton's elite. The stakes are high, the risks are deadly, and trust is a luxury I can no longer afford.
In this gilded cage, I won't be just a pawn; I'll be the hunter, stalking a killer who lurks in the shadows. But as I become entangled in a web of intoxicating pleasures and lethal consequences, the line between justice and revenge blurs.
Will I survive this treacherous game, or will I become another victim of Caxton's secrets?
