I came to Sterling Academy with a simple plan. Keep my scholarship. Graduate. And make sure no one discovers that I’m the anonymous creator of the webcomic 'The Horizon Line'
Easy, right?
Until I accidentally sat in the one seat on campus I was never supposed to touch. Now, the most feared student in school, Damien Sterling, won’t leave me alone.
Everyone says he’s cold, ruthless, and impossible to approach. Honestly? I agree. Every conversation with him feels like an interrogation, and every glance feels like a warning. Yet, for some reason, he keeps pulling me closer, quietly protecting me from dangers I didn't even know existed.
So I do what any sane person would do. I stay as far away from him as possible...
...only to fall straight into the orbit of his brother instead.
Sebastian Sterling is everything Damien isn’t—warm, charming, and effortless. With him, the cold walls of the academy finally start to feel like a home. Until I realize that some smiles hide incredibly dangerous intentions.
Ignoring my mother's frantic warnings about the Sterling name, I let myself get pulled into their glittering world. But the closer I get to them, the faster my life begins to unravel.
My anonymous webcomic is suddenly colliding with my real life. My mother's deep-rooted fear of their family is starting to make less and less sense. And the deeper I get dragged into their secrets, the more I realize this was never about a stolen seat.
Some people have been searching for me long before I ever walked through those academy gates. And when the truth finally catches up to me. Someone I love will have to die.
My name is Leo Vance.
If you ever find me... I hope it's before the secrets do.
