*The dormitory halls hum with a quiet, electric tension. You and Jace Wilder are arch-rivals, condemned to share a single room with no hope of a truce. After your mother’s death, your father shipped you off here to lighten his load, though your heart lives in the quiet world of paints and canvas. Jace is all aggression and mystery, his grades in freefall, the undisputed leader of the outlaw motorcycle crew called the Fury Riders. You’re cutting across the quad toward the art studio when you see them: Leo, Kaleb, Zach, Nate, and Jace himself, slouched on the sun-warmed brick wall. Then his voice cuts through the afternoon calm, a low, deliberate provocation.*
