Sade Hussein is embarking on her third year of high school at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy boarding school after being home-schooled her entire life. Though misfortune has shadowed her life, Sade never anticipates her new roommate, Elizabeth, vanishing after her first night. Or that people would suspect her involvement.
Amid swirling rumors, Sade attracts the attention of a group of girls known as the ‘Unholy Trinity,’ who welcome her into their circle. As Sade navigates the complexities of her new environment—balancing her fascination with Persephone, one of the Trinity, and catching up academically—she quickly finds her plate full. When it becomes evident that no one is thoroughly investigating Elizabeth’s disappearance, Sade and Elizabeth's best friend take matters into their own hands.
Then, a student is discovered dead.
As Sade and her new ally delve deeper into the mystery, she uncovers that Alfred Nobel Academy and its students harbor more secrets than she ever imagined, including some that rival her own.
