The complete Hawthorn Academy trilogy in one. I knew that a scholarship to Hawthorn Academy would change my life. The scholarship gets me away from a mother who doesn't love me, an alcoholic step-father I despise, and a life filled with no meaning. At the Academy, I can make something of myself. Become the person I've always wanted to be; the person I'm destined to be. But I never imagined that things would be worse for me here. That The Sect and The Set rule the school. Literally. They have a list of five rules that all must obey or face the dire consequences. Then there is Him. The forbidden fruit. The Beast I've been warned away from. The boy I feel a connection to, yet know that I shouldn't. Hawthorn Academy isn't anything like I'd expected. It's clear that I'm in danger. That somebody is out to harm me. I just need to survive the next two years here. How hard can that be?
