Marrowton Academy is a place of whispered legends and locked doors, where the elite come to sharpen their minds… and bury their sins.
Girls disappear here. And the silence that follows is not an accident, it is tradition.
Ruella has come to play her part in that silence. Her freedom depends on it. A mission given in whispers, dangerous enough to demand mistrust of everyone around her… even those she longs to trust.
Then there’s Asher.
All sharp edges and impossible allure. He makes her crave what she cannot afford. But the closer she draws, the more she sees it in his eyes: he knows she’s lying.
At Marrowton, truth is a weapon, lies are currency, and desire is a trap. Ruella must decide which is more dangerous, the secrets she was sent to protect… or the ones she is beginning to uncover.
Some lessons at Marrowton do not ruin you.
They bury you alive.
Are you brave enough to ask the wrong questions?
Step inside. The Faculty have been waiting.
