The Academy

Ariadne Miller looks set for life: elite schooling and a string of impressive accolades. But beneath the glossy surface, the reality of her past gnaws at her. She knows little to nothing about who she really is, except for the locket she's had since she was a baby.

She also knows she's different. A quick learner. Faster. Stronger. Possibly strong enough to take out Theo, the popular and insufferably privileged trust-fund baby with an uncanny ability to get in her way, or even the enigmatic Marcus. But her differences come with a price, a compulsion for risk she can't just seem to shake, in the form of stealing expensive items to crack the monotony of life amid the confines of the boarding school.

So far, she's kept her compulsions in check. Well, mostly.

Until the clues start arriving.

Someone, or something, is pulling her to Paris, and into a deadly game, and in exchange for her services, offering the very answers she craves. The truth about her past. The truth about her abilities.

But with the game comes danger, and Ari isn't the only player. Sofia. Cami. Others like her. Together, they might piece together what binds them, but as the clock ticks down, Ari realises she's on more than just a quest for answers. She's on a quest for survival.

The truth could save her. Or it could destroy everything.
