Crown Jewel

In the glittering yet ruthless world of Alternare Academy, Flaire Gia Theresé, a quiet and kindhearted student, is shunned for befriending the academy's outcasts, the Luminary Scholars. But an unexpected party invitation pulls Gia into a web of deceit, uncovering falsified records that obscure her true identity-and a perilous offer from the influential Crown Jewel, Raveryl Calixtro.

As Gia navigates the lies and manipulations of the academy's elite, she reluctantly becomes Zyphruxe Calixtro's partner, a calculated alliance aimed at securing her rise to the prestigious CerebroX Crown Jewels title. Unbeknownst to her, a shadowy figure named Zerrene Rhougia, skilled in uncovering long-buried secrets, begins to intervene in her journey. Though anonymous and enigmatic, Zerrene's actions steer Gia closer to the truth-including the concealed mystery behind Brittany Sovaria's incident. Will Gia's courage and the aid of her unseen ally be enough to unravel the academy's darkest secrets and claim her rightful place, or will the shadows of Alternare consume her?
