Book #2 of the Campus Sleuths' Series. Enter the student life in the prestigious academe of Castillo High - where favoritism is a religion, the campus is a board game, and the system is bullshit. Every single student is a pawn. But not for long. Three of the academe's talented students play against the rules and display consecutive acts of anonymous rebellion, which leads to an investigation from Castillo High's newly-put up detective organization: the Campus Sleuths. It's a battle between the leagues as they hunt for each other's tails, only to discover that both groups are merely pawns in a much larger and more dangerous chess game - with a nefarious mastermind pulling the strings in the background. Will the two factions set aside their different views and agenda to overthrow a culprit whose dominance presides over the student body? In a place where everyone is a pawn in this chessboard, one must be willing to break the system and overthrow the empire. --- Genres: dark academia, political fiction, murder mystery, and young adult romance.
