Power and Prestige: The Checkmate Society

At Whitethorn Academy, every smile is measured, every victory rehearsed.

Lillie Snowden is the embodiment of poise-gentle, hopeful, and desperate to prove she belongs in a world that already decided where she stands.
Porsha Valestri is her opposite: bold, unfiltered, and done waiting for permission to take what she's earned.

Their paths shouldn't cross.
But as ambition twists into rivalry and secrets shimmer just beneath the marble floors, Lillie and Porsha find themselves bound by something they can't quite name-an invisible current tugging them toward the same truth.

Because at Whitethorn, success isn't always chosen.
Sometimes, it's orchestrated.
