The Wilde Trials
Chloe Gatti will do whatever it takes to win the Wilde Trials, the annual competition at her elite Wilde Academy. In the two weeks before graduation, a dozen seniors are chosen to face seven ultimate physical and mental tests, and the winner walks away with more than half a million dollars, money Chloe needs to help her sick sister. The field of rivals includes her brooding ex-boyfriend Hayes Stratford, whose older brother was the only student ever to die during the Trials. When a blackmailer starts sabotaging Chloe partway through the competition, she strikes a bargain with Hayes: he helps her find whoever is targeting her, and she helps him finally solve the mystery his brother left behind. The crumbling estate hides riddles, passages, and a truth someone is willing to kill to protect.
