"Yeah, I know what you think. I’m just some street rat who doesn’t belong here. Keep thinking that. Makes it easier for me."

Cassian Vale wasn’t meant to be at Hampton High — the streets raised him, and nothing in this world was ever handed to him. A fighter, a survivor, with a past as dark as the shadows he walks through, he’s not here for friends or fake smiles. His presence is a warning, and those who cross him usually end up regretting it. He doesn't belong in this world of privilege, but somehow, he keeps fighting to survive.

With a sharp edge and a heart full of secrets, Cassian’s life is a battle. He doesn’t need anyone — or so he thinks. But when the golden girl of Hampton High starts getting under his skin, everything starts to change. She might be everything he’s not, but in the end, he’ll destroy anyone who dares to hurt her. And maybe... just maybe, he’ll burn himself trying.

The question is: Is Cassian Vale too far gone to save?
