For fans of A Lesson In Vengeance and The Inheritance Games comes a new YA mystery set at an all-girls boarding school where some secrets are better kept hidden. Seventeen-year-old Emmaline Berry begins her senior year at Hawthorne Academy, her late mother's alma mater, eager for a fresh start. But when a student is poisoned on her first day, Emmaline becomes the prime suspect. With her scholarship on the line, she teams up with quick-witted outcast Blair to shut down the elite secret society plaguing the academy and her reputation. As they dive deeper into the academy's dark history, Emmaline uncovers her mother's hidden connection to the school's founder, forcing her to question not only her place at Hawthorne but the very truth of her identity. But Emmaline isn't the only one digging—someone else is desperate to keep the past hidden and will kill to make sure of it.
