Everyone in town assumes Lanna Mason will follow in her family’s unstable footsteps. No Mason has ever been completely sane, and the odds are stacked against Lanna. Earlier that year, Grayson Canterberry wrapped his car around a tree leaving her with no real friends, a baby on the way, and secrets about who her boyfriend really was. And perhaps the biggest secret Lanna keeps is that when Grayson died she felt more relief than grief.

                
But Lanna isn’t the only one harboring secrets. On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, she receives an invitation that changes her life. She discovers that her hometown of Staddice, infamous for producing leaders and high achievers, is a war zone controlled by three societies of elite teenagers. The members are sponsored by society alumni, and if Lanna makes a name for herself during the battles, her college tuition, her housing, her child- all of it could be paid for. Motivated by the opportunity to provide for herself and her daughter, Lanna accepts the invitation to join the Blues. Yet she quickly begins to unravel a web of secrets spun by Grayson, her peers, the residents of Staddice, and mainly her very own family.

                
Welcome to Staddice…
                                       
Where all is fair in love and war…
