Elya Clavel has spent her entire life following the rules. That was until a single accusation shatters her spotless record. Framed for a crime she didn't commit, she's determined to clear her name. Unfortunately, her investigation comes with an unexpected complication: Venti, a troublemaker with a sharp tongue, too much confidence, and an alarming lack of boundaries.
With the help of her ever-meddling siblings, an infuriating new 'partner-in-crime,' and a series of questionable tactics, Elya dives headfirst into uncovering the truth. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes-this isn't just about a stolen answer sheet. Little does she know, her life is about to take a turn, for better and for worse. Through many adventures, coincidences, and setups, through tears, laughter, and joy, she realizes that some secrets are still yet to be discovered.

Excerpt:
I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow.
Glowing eyes were not normal.
Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
What was I then? For that, I had no answer
