"The Art of Falling Behind" At Blackthorn Academy, where the world’s elite mold their heirs into future titans of industry, politics, and power, Serena Langley and Theo Sinclair are both at the top—but for entirely different reasons. Serena is Blackthorn’s academic princess, a powerhouse with a perfect GPA, a sharp tongue, and a beauty that turns heads before she even speaks. She’s disciplined, ambitious, and always in control—because failure isn’t an option when you’re carrying the weight of an entire legacy. Theo, on the other hand, is a walking contradiction. Laid-back yet effortlessly brilliant, he’s the kind of person who can nap through half a lecture and still outscore everyone in the room. He’s not one to seek attention, but that doesn’t stop people from flocking to him—especially the group of obsessive admirers who practically worship the ground he walks on. He doesn’t feed into it, but he doesn’t bother shaking them off either. As far as Theo’s concerned, navigating Blackthorn’s social scene is just another game—one he plays only when absolutely necessary. When an invitation to Blackthorn’s most powerful secret society throws them into an elite competition, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The trials are designed to test intelligence, influence, and strategy, pushing contenders to manipulate, outwit, and outlast their opponents. For Serena, winning is the key to securing her future on her own terms. For Theo, it’s a chance to prove that just because he doesn’t chase power, doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to control it. The problem? They can’t stand each other. Serena thinks Theo is wasting his mind by coasting through life, and Theo thinks Serena is so obsessed with perfection that she’s forgotten how to actually live. Worse, his fan club has decided she’s public enemy number one, and Blackthorn’s elite have started betting on whether their rivalry will implode or explode into something else entirely. But as the competition gets brutal and the challenges blur the lines between ally and enemy, Serena and Theo find themselves drawn together in ways neither of them expected. Because at Blackthorn, winning isn’t just about proving yourself—it’s about surviving. And the most dangerous part? Realizing the only person who truly sees you… is the one person you were never supposed to fall for.
