Nour always knew she was different. Gifted with a rare intelligence that set her apart from her peers, she grew up in a struggling Moroccan village, where her brilliance meant little in the face of poverty. But when two mysterious men arrive at her doorstep, offering her mother a fortune to train Nour's mind to its full potential, the promise of a better life becomes too tempting to resist.
Whisked away to an elite institution in Ireland, The Aurora Project, Nour quickly realizes this is no ordinary school. The grand mansion, hidden deep within the forest, is a place of discipline, secrecy, and something far more sinister. The students-twenty highly intelligent children-are not being educated; they are being molded into something far deadlier.
When the truth is unveiled, Nour is faced with a horrifying reality: she has been recruited into a secret spy organization, one that operates outside the law, shaping young minds into human weapons. With no way out and her family's safety hanging by a thread, she must navigate a world of ruthless training, deception, and psychological warfare.
Under the watchful eyes of Vince-the calculating mastermind-and Esra-the cold, emotionless enforcer-Nour will be tested, broken, and rebuilt into something unrecognizable. But as she loses pieces of herself, a question lingers in her mind: Can she outsmart the very people who seek to control her?
A gripping blend of espionage, psychological thriller, and coming-of-age drama, Diaries of the White Rose is a pulse-pounding novel about survival, identity, and the price of genius.
