Crestwood Academy isn't just a school.
It's a kingdom ruled by billionaires' heirs, legacy families, & the kind of secrets that can ruin generations.
When Alison Bennett, a sweet faced, sharp tongued transfer student from Queens, steps through Crestwood's iron gates, she expects academic pressure, designer wardrobes, & entitled rich kids.
She doesn't expect to become the center of the school's most dangerous obsession.
Because Crestwood has a hierarchy.
& she doesn't belong in it.
At the top sits Lana Montgomery, the flawless queen bee who controls the school with a smile sharp enough to cut. Her boyfriend, Nick Vanderbilt, is Crestwood's golden boy perfect on the outside, cracking on the inside, & secretly in love with someone he shouldn't be.
Her best friend, Avery Carrington, is the school's wild child beautiful, reckless, & drowning under a reputation she can't escape. She carries a secret from two years ago that could destroy Lana, Nick, & herself in one blow.
Then there are the Astor cousins Crestwood royalty.
Matthew Astor, the billionaire heir with a playboy reputation & a heart full of guilt he hides behind smirks & hookups.
And Reed Astor, the charming bad boy every girl wants & no girl keeps. He doesn't do relationships. He doesn't do feelings.
Until Alison Bennett walks in with her Queens accent & her don't‑mess‑with‑me attitude.
Reed wants her.
Dax Whittaker Alison's loyal best friend from Queens loves her.
And Crestwood Academy is ready to watch them tear each other apart for her.
But the students aren't the only ones watching.
The Oracle, Crestwood's anonymous messenger, sees everything.
Every lie.
Every betrayal.
Every forbidden kiss.
Every secret these perfect, polished teens would kill to protect.
And The Oracle is ready to speak.
As alliances shift, hearts break, & scandals explode, Alison discovers that at Crestwood Academy, the truth isn't just dangerous
it's deadly.
And she's already in too deep.
