The Serpent's Prey

In the shadow of the Greystone Academy's ivied walls, a brutal human trafficking ring thrives, preying on girls from the impoverished nation of Istra. When a survivor escapes and infiltrates the school under a false identity, she discovers that the classroom is merely a rehearsal for the savagery of the adult world, and the deadliest predators wear varsity jackets. A fatal police shooting of a boy holding a toy gun—eerily echoing the King v. Warrior case—ignites a chain of revelations that will shatter the carefully constructed illusions of privilege.
