SYNOPSIS

They laughed while she bled.

They mocked her pain.

They never expected the girl they broke to rise again—this time with scissors in her hand and nothing but rage in her chest.

Ruby Derman was just a quiet shadow at Blackwater High. Bullied, beaten, and ignored. But every scar was a promise. And now, she's keeping them—one body at a time.

Then there's Alexander Whales. The youngest lecturer in school history. The son of a crime empire. The man who was once a boy in handcuffs, accused of killing his own parents.

He came back with secrets. She welcomed him with blood.

This isn't your typical high school drama.

This is obsession. This is vengeance. This is survival in its rawest form.
