Lockwood Academy: The Hidden Crown
In Picard Country, your hair tells people your designation, your waistcoat tells them your worth, and your name tells them whether you matter.
Crystal Mansul doesn't fit any of it.
White-haired and unreadable, she arrives at Lockwood Academy expecting a fresh start. What she gets is a school that doesn't know what to do with her, people she shouldn't be drawn to, and the slow, creeping sense that something about her life has never quite added up.
Her father keeps his secrets close.
Some of them, it turns out, were never his to keep.
Behind Lockwood's ancient walls, not everything is about grades and waistcoat colors. There are alliances older than the democracy. Betrayals that were never punished. And a truth about Crystal's blood that certain very powerful people have spent eighteen years burying.
She was never supposed to find it.
Lockwood Academy: The Hidden Crown — they buried the truth eighteen years ago.
They should have buried her with it.
