Esholiè Claer Academy is a place where power matters more than money, secrets are buried beneath centuries of prestige, and everyone knows their place.
Xianneia Adelize arrives in Paris with one purpose: to uncover the truth behind the tragedy that destroyed her family.
Her parents' deaths were never as simple as everyone claimed. For years, Xia has carried questions she was never given answers to-and now, one of her parents' most dangerous rivals has a son studying at Esholiè Claer.
She can't help but wonder if the family she once suspected is somehow connected to what happened to hers.
But on her very first day at the academy, Xia witnesses something she was never supposed to see.
A student falls from a rooftop.
Everyone calls it an accident.
Xianneia isn't convinced.
The more questions she asks, the more she realizes that Esholiè Claer is nothing like the prestigious academy it pretends to be. Beneath its beautiful halls and immaculate gardens lies a world controlled by three untouchable students-the ones everyone calls The Rulers.
At the center of them is Zaviern Marzien, an heir feared throughout the academy. Cold, ruthless, and impossible to read, he is the last person Xia wants standing in her way.
Then there is his stepbrother, Vallen, whose unexpected kindness makes him far easier to trust, and Xion, whose watchful eyes seem to notice more than he lets on.
But when Xia begins digging into Aurelien's death, she discovers clues that may connect the academy's secrets to the questions surrounding her parents' deaths.
And one of the people closest to those secrets may be the very person she was taught to suspect.
At Esholiè Claer, everyone has something to hide.
And some secrets have been waiting for her.
When night falls, the truth rises.
