The Hawthorn tree. You can eat the berries. Taste the juice. But the seeds are the deadliest part. And I was going to become the seed. I was going to be the cyanide that destroyed Ollie and everything he valued. The Set-what was left of them anyway-were going to pay for what they did to me. For the torture they put me through. They drowned me. Drugged me. Humiliated me. But I was not going to let them take my dignity. Disease is book two in the Hawthorn Academy Series. It is a dark high school bully romance, and contains themes that some readers might find uncomfortable. This book is a part of a trilogy and is NOT a standalone. This book was previously published under the same title in February 2021, but has had a complete rewrite since. This is the second edition.
