34 parts Complete MatureFive years after the original Boys of Tommen era, 17-year-old Tadgh Lynch has found his footing. Now in 5th year, he's a solid hurler, surrounded by a close-knit group of lads, and finally experiencing some stability after years of turbulence in the Lynch household. But no matter how much distance he puts between himself and the past, the pain lingers-memories of his childhood, of Shannon's suffering, and of feeling powerless.
On the first day of term, Tadgh meets Leah Daly, a sharp, academically gifted 16-year-old who's just skipped a year and transferred into his class. She's younger, brilliant, and immediately rubs him the wrong way-too aloof, too blunt, and too guarded. But what really sets him off is her last name: Daly. The same name as one of Shannon's worst bullies. That alone is enough for Tadgh to write her off.
But the more he watches her, the more he notices the cracks in her armor. She's tired all the time. Avoids talking about her family. Shows up to school with suspicious bruises she brushes off with weak excuses. And sometimes, when she thinks no one's looking, she seems completely and utterly lost.
When he finds out what's really going on-that Leah is living under the same kind of terror he once did-his perception of her shifts completely. Against his instincts, Tadgh becomes invested. Not just in helping her, but in understanding her. Because Leah isn't just a Daly. She's someone like him-someone surviving.
As their bond deepens, Tadgh is forced to confront the parts of his past he's buried. And Leah, too clever and too broken for her own good, must decide whether to let someone in before her situation spirals further.
For the record I do not own these characters all rights go to Chloe Walsh. The only characters that belong to be are the characters I create I'm aware I spelt Tadhg wrong but its to late now
