The weathered envelope in Stella's hands contains a life-changing secret…
...one that will thrust her into a world where she not only belongs -
It’s a world she's destined to rule.
Since her grandfather's death three years ago, Stella has cherished the envelope, fantasizing about the mystery it holds and the possibilities it may open for her. But nothing could have prepared her for the contents - a simple invitation to an exclusive all-girls prep school.
Sure, it’s sparse on details, and a new school isn’t the exciting adventure she dreamed of, but it can’t be worse than another dismal year living as a servant under her stepmother’s thumb…can it?
The cryptic acceptance letter hints at a deeper mystery surrounding her family's past - why is her last name different in the letter and what makes her father so evasive when she questions him about it?
Determined to uncover the truth and escape the hellscape her stepmother rules, Stella dives into her family's history, only to discover more secrets and surprises than she ever could have imagined.
Is the secretive Valentina's Academy a ticket out of her current life or just another prison to survive?

My Review: 5 STARS
I picked this up because the cover and blurb made me think it would be an exciting mystery, and I was not disappointed. Stella was relatable and engaging from the first page, you couldn’t help but feel for her. When you threw in all the mystery in her life, and the letter that leads her to the Academy, you can’t help but want to know more, to follow the many twists and turns and get a chance to find out the truth. I was hooked, and am desperate for the next book after that cliffhanger of an ending. Very much recommended!
