*READ "How to be a Heartbreaker" AND "Kings Conquer" FIRST!*

At Blackthorn University, The Revenants rule the school. Eight dangerously captivating men whose power is unmatched, they dictate who rises, who falls, and who disappears. Feared by their enemies and worshipped by everyone else, they are bound by loyalty, secrets, and a dark past.

But even kings have weaknesses, and for The Revenants, it's the women who challenge their control. Some are ghosts from their past, others are new forces shaking their world, but each one has the power to unravel the carefully constructed empires they've built. In a world where love can be a weapon and betrayal is inevitable, the bonds they form threaten to destroy everything.

As buried truths rise to the surface and alliances fracture, the game at Blackthorn becomes deadlier than ever. Trust is a dangerous gamble, and power always comes with a price.

In the end, it's not just the secrets they've buried that could destroy them-but the people they've let in.

In the icy corridors of Hillcrest Academy, a secluded boarding school nestled in a wintry landscape, the vibrant lives of eight students intertwine, revealing a web of secrets and grudges. When Tyler Johnson, a popular and charismatic student, meets a tragic end during a fateful party, suspicion falls on the tightly-knit group of students, each bearing a hidden motive for wanting him gone. Blake Abbot, the dean's daughter, harbors a dark family secret that intertwines with Tyler's past. Tristan Allister, the school's notorious bad boy, has a history of clashes with Tyler, leading to simmering animosity. Imani Jackson, the talented designer, has an unresolved conflict that hints at professional jealousy turned deadly. Jordan DeAngelo, the celebrated star athlete, conceals a rivalry that escalated to a breaking point with Tyler. Mara Harrington, the introverted bookworm, has been hiding a crush on Tyler that took a devastating turn. Elias Lancaster, struggling with alcoholism and a troubled past, had a turbulent encounter with Tyler, leaving their relationship clouded with resentment. Summer Morgan, the acerbic cheerleader, has a well-guarded vendetta that places her in the center of the investigation. Kira Chen, the enigmatic newcomer, hides her true identity and purpose at Hillcrest Academy, a secret that intertwines with Tyler's demise. As the layers of deception unravel and the investigation delves deeper into the students' intertwined lives, the lines between friendship and betrayal blur, and the true face of the culprit becomes increasingly elusive. With tensions rising and trust eroding, the students must confront their own demons while seeking justice for Tyler's untimely death, all while evading the penetrating gaze of an unwavering detective determined to unearth the school's darkest secrets.

In the small town of Bellmor, where surfing takes the warm afternoons under the beaming sunlight, Blind Faith accompanies the story of a group of friends, their feverish dreams, silent fears, and the way love enters their lives. In an authentic representation of youth, combined with loss and grief, expect nothing but a ride through their genuine thoughts and emotions, sometimes even disquiet, restlessness, and agony. Will, in the end, someone find a glimpse of serenity? Smart, introverted, sensitive, and kind, Emma Goodwin is known for being top of the class, although she never brags about it. In fact, at the age of 17, the radiance she finds in everyone around her seems nothing but absent in the reflection she is presented to in the mirror every morning. Dragged by the constant trepidation, distress, and fear of what seems to be an endless cycle of trying to survive in her unsettled mind, Emma finds in music an entree to a world where momentary tranquility frees her from her own chaos. However, when she least expects it, someone unpredictable decides he would do anything he could to enter that little world of hers and to get to know her to the point where he could settle calmness and peacefulness in her apprehensive heart. Being the first-born son of Howard De Loughrey was seen by many as an undeniable privilege, but for Damian de Loughrey it meant growing up cursed to a tarnished name, to the unrealistic life's expectations his father had for him, and to silenced traumas no one had a clue about. Despite being seen by everyone as the spoilt rich popular guy, Damian was just a normal kid, trying to find his way in life while making sure he helped everyone around him, but forgetting he also needed help, in the first place. Surprisingly, the so intriguing girl who used to teach him maths last fall would turn out to be the first person he would be able to open up to. After all, sometimes we are just lost souls waiting for the right person to see us.

Denial that everything she did to herself, everything horrible, was deemed good. Unconvinced that it might kill her. And that it would try to.

And it was driving him insane. But when both are forced to work together for a school project, is when all hell breaks loose. Confessions. Lies. Secrets.
