Secrets hide behind smiles, a single text can change everything, and one competition could launch her future halfway across the world.
But in a galaxy of choices, who, and what will she revolve around?

Seer
When Clare Palmer accepts a scholarship to attend Evergreen, she thinks she's escaping her insane, estranged father, while also getting the chance to go to the school her late mother graduated from.
