Welcome to Eveland Academy.
Where purity is power—and obedience is survival.
Behind the Academy’s ivy-covered walls, girls are taught to become perfect wives. Their worth is measured, their futures decided, and their obedience rewarded.
Adaline Lennox has spent her life preparing to be matched. Immaculate and controlled, she is destined for a marriage of alliance. But beneath her privilege, something is beginning to crack.
Across town, Hallie Hart has spent her life surviving. Marked with an inked number she cannot erase, she has never belonged anywhere.
Until she saves Adaline in a moment of desperate protection.
When Hallie barters for Adaline’s safety, she is drawn through Eveland’s gilded doors, into a world of debutant balls, rituals, and staunch rules—and finds a home somewhere she was never meant to belong.
But as Adaline begins to question the life chosen for her, the girls discover what Eveland demands in return for perfection.
Because Eveland does not simply educate its girls.
It remakes them.
All they have to do is surrender.
