Five societies. Five presidents. One invitation could change everything.
You receive a full scholarship to the prestigious Blackwood University, where every student belongs to one of five secret societies that quietly control the campus. Admission isn't guaranteed—the president of a society must personally choose to sponsor you. As rivalries grow, alliances shift, and long-buried secrets begin to surface, one question remains: Which society will claim you... and can you trust the person who invites you in?Maybe Blackwood wasn't always divided into five societies. Long ago, there was only one. Something happened that split it apart. No one alive knows the full story... except the five presidents.

Intro
Every university has clubs. Blackwood has societies. Five of them. Students whisper that they control everything—from scholarships and student government to the oldest secrets hidden beneath the campus. At Blackwood, you don't choose a society. A society chooses you. When you receive a scholarship to Blackwood University, you expect a fresh start. Instead, every society president seems to know exactly who you are. And each one wants you on their side. As rivalries deepen, alliances shift, and forgotten secrets begin to surface, you'll have to decide who to trust... because at Blackwood, every choice has consequences. Welcome to Blackwood University.
Present day
I run my fingers over the acceptance letter folded inside my pocket. A full-ride scholarship to Blackwood University. Even now, it still doesn't feel real. A student with messy hair, smeared lipstick that clearly isn't his, and a bruise peaking over the collar of his uniform walks past them. They don't spare him a single glance before silently moving on to the next person. The moment I step past them, all three heads turn toward me at once. I lean over and whisper to Sophie Who are they?
Don't stare, keep walking I'll explain once we get to the dorm room. I whisper, eyes on the sidewalk, my hair now seems too tight in its bun
I glance up at them again then immediately drop my gaze to the ground. At the dorm room Sophie shutters like a leaf blowing in the wind
