“But it’s easy to get caught up in how clean someone looks when you know their edges are made of glass shards. He was always polite. Always smiling. Always… off. And I didn’t want to give Victoria the satisfaction of being right. Maybe that was why sometimes I felt like I was looking at a rabbit with teeth too sharp for its kind.” At Hypatia International High School – Europe’s most elite boarding school – the Student Council debates everything from trivial cafeteria menus to Agathe’s next play décor, stitched together by secrets around their oval table. But beneath the polished halls and well-practiced smiles, eight students in particular are bound to learn just how far love bends before it shatters. School starlets, mean girls, golden boys, the loners, the ‘perfect’ ones – all hiding something. And all about to be unraveled. Victoria believes she knows how the world works; Alexia trusts her mother more than her instincts. Agathe already labeled love a frail thing, stitched in her Shakespearean plays, and Mason just tries to survive the night. Sigrid pretends she can see through people, and Lewis hides something not even he is aware of. And all drawn to Cain, the enigmatic new member of the Council; more myth than a real boy. When long-buried secrets resurface, friendships begin to fracture, and the night grows colder, each of them must face what they have locked away to survive. Because what you repress always finds a way out; whether it is love, betrayal, or a truth too painful to name, hidden inside a smudged bathroom mirror.
