Within the Eveland walls, perfection is not a privilege. It pure survival.
Behind gilded gates and polished smiles, girls are raised to become flawless reflections of a society built on control, beauty, and obedience. But beneath Eveland's pristine surface, rot lurk in the dark.
Adaline Lennox has spent her life learning how to be perfect. Hallie Hart learned long ago that perfection was never meant for girls like her. When their worlds collide, the cracks within Eveland begin to split wide open.
Haunting, lyrical, and deeply unsettling, Eveland is a dark dystopian novel about feminine rage, obsession, power, and the terrifying cost of belonging.
From the Back Cover
Welcome to Eveland Academy.
Where girls are taught that purity is power-and obedience is survival.
Behind ivy-covered walls and iron gates, Adaline Lennox was raised for this world-immaculate, controlled, destined for a marriage of alliance and a future already decided. But beneath her privilege, the weight of expectation is beginning to fracture her.
Across town, Hallie Hart has spent her life surviving. The world beyond Eveland's gates carved survival into her skin long ago, leaving behind a number she cannot erase.
After a fleeting encounter between the girls, the powerful Lennox family pulls quiet strings-drawing Hallie through Eveland Academy's gilded doors and into a world never meant for girls like her.
Within its candlelit halls, worth is tracked, loyalty is measured, and every girl is shaped for a future already decided.
And for the first time, Hallie finds something dangerous-
belonging.
While Adaline feels the walls beginning to close in.
Because Eveland does not simply educate its girls.
It remakes them.
If they can survive the price of becoming what it demands.
