Closing Statement

The newspapers called them champions.

History remembered them as brilliant.

Only Rowan Bell remembers the truth.

Drawn into Blackwood Grammar School's elite debating society, Rowan quickly becomes captivated by four extraordinary students whose talent for persuasion seems almost limitless. But when their pursuit of victory leads them down a path from which there is no return, admiration gives way to paranoia, suspicion, and betrayal.

Set against the backdrop of fierce academic competition and dark academia, Closing Statement is a haunting novel about ambition, loyalty, and the terrifying power of a well-told lie.
