Shadow of Ivory

At an exclusive university where only the brightest and wealthiest students are accepted, four girls-Ella, Serena, Rachel, and Diana-are on the brink of a new chapter in their lives, thanks to hard-earned scholarships. With excitement and anxiety hanging in the air, they are determined to make the most of their chance at success. But everything begins to shift when Ella, still healing from a painful breakup, bumps into Killian, the dean's charming and enigmatic son.

Instantly captivated by Ella, Killian makes it his mission to win her over, using his charisma and influence to draw her into his orbit. Ella, unsure of her feelings and still emotionally vulnerable, tries to resist, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. Her friends, however, have other plans. With their reasons to distrust Killian, Serena, Rachel, and Diana try to intervene, warning Ella that she's treading dangerous ground. They fear that with his mysterious past and seductive allure, Killian might break her in ways she isn't ready for.

As the tension builds between Ella and her friends, the dark undercurrents of the campus come to light. A shocking murder rocks the university, and one of Ella's closest friends is accused of being the killer. With suspicion growing, Ella's relationships are tested in ways she never expected, and she's forced to confront the darker side of Killian's influence over her.

Caught between loyalty to her friends and the pull of a dangerous, irresistible connection, Ella's world begins to unravel. With every choice she makes, the lines between love, control, and manipulation blur. As the investigation into the murder deepens, secrets are exposed, and Ella must decide who to trust, who to protect, and ultimately, what kind of person she wants to become.
