What would you do if your best friend disappeared one night?

I'm Wyatt Farely and that's what happened to me. My best friend Thomas accepted a scholarship to a fancy private academy several hours away. He was making new friends and flourishing. Then things started to take a dark turn. His new rich friends betrayed him and my confident, happy friend became paranoid and scared. He barely called or texted anymore. What's worse? Thomas thought someone was after him. I figured he was just stressed, but I should have known better.

Then one night he left me one last disturbing text... and disappeared.

The school investigated and said he ran away. The police said there was no foul play. But I'm calling bullshit. Thomas would never leave me without a word. When I realize no one is going to look for him, I take it upon myself to do the dirty work. I apply for the same scholarship Thomas had and I'm accepted. The only problem? Somerhaven Academy is an all-boys school and I'M A GIRL.

Am I going to let that stop me? Hell no. In full disguise, I set out to learn what happened and punish the boys who betrayed him. Golden-boy Ulysses Cardwell III, the elusive Percy Blackborne, and the charming Monty Langley. Thomas told me all about the rumors of their connection to a secret society known as The Order of Orchids and Lions. I've never been one to back down and sometimes, to get answers, you have to put your head directly in the Lion's mouth.
