In the world of elite military colleges, Kaelani "Kae" Terrano is a freshman constantly underestimated. Labeled as weak and too soft for the harsh, cutthroat environment, she's surrounded by cadets who tell her she doesn't belong. But Kae has something to prove-not just to them, but to herself.
At home, things aren't any easier. After her father mysteriously disappeared years ago, her mother eventually remarried. Kae never got along with her stepfather-his strict rules, cold attitude, and the way he tried to replace her dad only drove a wedge between them. The tension at home reached its peak, and Kae left, cutting ties with her mom and seeking shelter with her aunt Taliah.
But safety turns into suspicion when Kae uncovers a chilling secret: her aunt-and possibly her entire extended family-is connected to a powerful cartel. What starts as small clues quickly snowballs into a dangerous truth: her family may have been hiding their involvement in organized crime for years... and it might be connected to her father's disappearance.
Now, while struggling to survive and succeed at the military college, Kae must untangle the secrets of her family's legacy. As she trains and grows stronger, she battles not only physical limits but emotional ones-especially when a forbidden romance begins to bloom with someone whose loyalty is uncertain.
Haunted by the mystery of her father, alienated from her mother, and trapped between a life of discipline and a family tied to crime, Kae must make a choice: uncover the truth and risk everything... or walk away and never look back.

But when her mother dies in a car accident, the life Aria knew unravels overnight. A letter. A name. A father she's never met. Now she's flying across the country to New York - to a mansion with guards at every gate, brothers who don't know what to make of her, and a father still struggling to accept the daughter he didn't know existed. Her stepmother is kind, her new home beautiful... but nothing about it feels right. At St. Augustine's Academy, power hums beneath every smile and secret.

Those old rivalries still live on in the halls she walks now, and Aria's arrival is stirring them all back to life. One boy in particular seems to hate her most. He's untouchable, cruel in that effortless way only someone raised in power can be.

As Aria begins to uncover the truth her mother died protecting, she learns that some secrets were buried for a reason... and that even in a world built on bloodlines and betrayal, the most dangerous thing of all might be the way he looks at her.
