YOU DON'T FIND JUSTICE. YOU EDIT IT UNTIL IT FITS THE ENDING YOU WANT.
At Sterling Academy, the elite don't just study for exams. They study how to bury their sins.
Ten years ago, brilliant student Claire Thorne vanished into the indifferent machinery of Sterling Academy. The world moved on, but her younger sister, Maya, never did. Now, Maya has arrived as a scholarship transfer with one goal: to dismantle the prestigious institution that swallowed her sister whole.
The hunter thinks she's found her prey. She doesn't realize she's been cast in a role.
Eve Hamilton, a veteran literature teacher with a terminal diagnosis and a failing nervous system, is tired of grading mediocre essays. She wants to write a masterpiece. Not on paper, but in reality. She has spent months Social Engineering the perfect executioner. She has planted the breadcrumbs, forged the red-ink diaries, and set the trap for the school's corrupt Principal.
Maya Thorne is the perfect protagonist. She is also the perfect murder weapon.
As the Philosophy of Vengeance takes hold, the line between mentor and monster blurs. Every breakthrough Maya makes was scripted by Eve. Every secret she uncovers was left there for her to find. But in a game where the Narrative Architect is willing to die for the ending, can the Mirror Image survive the final edit?
In the tradition of The Teacher and The Secret History, this gripping dark academia psychological thriller explores the terrifying cost of an absolute masterpiece.
