It’s like I keep stumbling into a dark room. . .
After being home-schooled all her life, Sade Hussein is starting her third year of high school at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy boarding school. She meets her roommate Elizabeth on her first day but shortly after, Elizabeth is declared missing and there are more questions than answers.
When it seems people don't care enough to look into what happened to Elizabeth, it's up to Sade and Elizabeth's best friend, Baz, to investigate. The more they dig, the more Sade realizes there’s more going on at Alfred Nobel Academy than she realized. Secrets lurk around every corner and beneath every surface…secrets that rival even her own.
