Calliope Lin doesn’t belong among the glittering halls and icy smiles of Avalon Preparatory Academy, but that never stopped anyone. Here, ambition wears diamond-studded sneakers, secrets drip from every locker, and friends might toss you down the class ranks faster than you can say, ‘Trust me.’ As Calliope, you’re swept into a fierce weekly ritual—peer voting that can crown or crush you. Strategic alliances shimmer, sparkling with promise and danger, while your fiercest rivals, Lila Devon and Julian Astor, always seem to know a move before you do. Yet every perfectly posed outfit, perfectly worded chat, and clutch mini-game win inches you closer to the coveted twelfth class, and the sweet, stinging taste of real acclaim.
