At East Side High, trouble doesn't knock. It transfers in.
When River Hale arrives with bruises on his knuckles and silence in his eyes, rumors spread fast. Some say he's violent. Others say he's broken. Malik Turner just knows one thing-River doesn't look scared of anyone.
As fights erupt, secrets surface, and authority figures start acting nervous, Malik, his best friend Jayden, and relentless truth-seeker Tiana uncover something far darker than schoolyard drama. River isn't just carrying a violent past-he's connected to a buried scandal powerful people would kill to keep hidden.
The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous East Side High becomes.
Because River isn't running from ghosts.
They're following him.
And now they're circling the school.
SHADOWS AT EAST SIDE HIGH is a gritty YA thriller set in East St. Louis, Illinois-a story of loyalty, trauma, and the thin line between survivor and monster.
Some darkness you fear.
Others... you become.
