When I was ten years old, the Sterling family took everything from me. I hid in the shadows as my mother was murdered right in front of me, committing the killers' faces to memory. I watched the news as they reported my father’s "tragic accident" poisoned a boardroom before his car was run off a cliff into the crushing Australian sea. I knew it was all lies. I was left to starve on the streets while the Sterlings lived in their golden mansion. But at fifteen, a mysterious woman took me in. She didn't give me a childhood; she gave me a blade. She turned me into a weapon, for revenge and justice for my parents death. Now, at eighteen, I am Alira. I am lethal, I am unrecognizable, and I am walking through the doors of Oceana Crest University, the very institution owned by the monsters who slaughtered my family. My target is Braxton Sterling: the university’s untouchable basketball god, the ruthless bad boy, and the heir to the Sterling empire. The son of my parents' killers. He thinks I’m just another beautiful girl to conquer. He is obsessed, relentlessly pursuing me, willing to do anything to have me in his bed. He doesn't know that his obsession is exactly what I planned. To destroy him and his family. But when the school's most popular girl vanishes after a campus party, and a rogue, anonymous podcast begins leaking the elite’s darkest, bloodiest secrets, my perfect revenge plot is thrown into chaos. To get to the truth, Braxton and I must team up to hunt the kidnapper. I promised myself I would destroy the Sterlings. But the deeper I dig into the podcast’s clues, the more I realize the monsters who ruined my life might not be who I thought they were. And the boy I swore to kill might be the only one who can save me.
