My life is perfect from the outside.

But it's all a lie, a perfect illusion crafted to hide the sad truth: my life is a beautiful cage, and my father holds the key.
Especially when it comes to my heart. Dating is strictly forbidden, not that it would matter much to me.
If only it wasn't for Zachary Blackwood.
The heir to the centuries-old Blackwood fortune, my academic rival for the past six years... and the only person capable of seeing through the cracks in my facade.

Theodora Dorokhova is beautiful, intelligent, elusive—and the only student in Spearcrest I can't best.

No matter how long I try, no matter how hard I work. But this is our final year in Spearcrest, and we've both been selected for an academic excellence programme.
This time, there can only be one victor. And it's going to be me.
I won't let anything get in my way—not even my heart.
Because I love Theodora. I love her completely, overwhelmingly, desperately, even though we'll never be together.

Our love is written in the stars—Theodora is just afraid to look up.
