Synopsis

Sade Hussein arrives at the elite Alfred Nobel Academy after a lifetime of being home-schooled and a run of misfortune—her parents' recent death among it. On her very first night, her new roommate, Elizabeth, vanishes. When the school shrugs off the disappearance, Sade teams up with Elizabeth's best friend, Baz, to find the truth—drawing the attention of the school's ruling clique, the "Unholy Trinity," and stirring up secrets the academy would rather keep buried, all while a ghostly girl haunts her nightmares begging for help. A twisty boarding-school mystery with a paranormal edge, from the author of Ace of Spades.
