Fluting Birds of Inky Nights (The Gravity of Love #2)

Hortense Salonga hates school. For her, true excellence is not measured by grades, but by how well you master the skills that matter in your future. It is about knowing your path to your career. Hers is the volleyball court, where she dominates with every serve and spike. But when this insufferable bane of her existence woman threatens to pull her from the team unless she improves her grades, Hortense is left with no choice but to face the one thing she's always avoided: academics.

Nyx Elizondo has had enough. Enough of lazy classmates. Enough of useless groupmates who ghost her. As a student leader, academic achiever, working student, and the family breadwinner, Nyx does not have time for nonsense. And she is definitely not babysitting some overhyped transferee who thinks sports are an excuse for laziness.

Thrown into a group work that demands teamwork, the two are forced to rely on each other to survive it. Hortense is hell-bent on ruining Nyx's perfect streak. Nyx wants to put her in her place. They're forced to stay late working side by side, on dim streets, under tired skies, and through chaotic squabbles in every inky night.

Two birds. One digging for worms. One watching, ready to steal.
