About this audiobook

The arrival of a naive younger brother sparks a chain reaction of bullying, misunderstandings, and fierce loyalty tests within a strictly governed academy. When a shocking theft occurs, suspicion falls on the innocent, threatening to destroy reputations and derail promising futures. The rigid social hierarchy of the student body creates a pressure cooker of tension, where doing the right thing often comes at a terrible personal cost. A senior student must risk his own standing to uncover the truth and protect the vulnerable. The pursuit of justice becomes a defining trial of character in this gripping tale of schoolboy honor.
