Midnight Resistance: Respect our Existance or Expect Resistance

Claire Thompson sees too much. Not metaphorically - she feels every secret, every lie, every grief someone's swallowed so hard it's lodged in their chest. When a cream-paper invitation sealed with a raven in black wax arrives at her door, Claire walks into the Gilded Lily expecting a secret society. What she finds is a machine - a twelve-university surveillance network that profiles students by their loneliness, chemically rewires their loyalty, and destroys anyone who resists. Now Claire, a paranoid hacker who trusts code more than people, and an analyst who's been playing both sides for six months have seventy-two hours to expose the system before it swallows them whole. But the Gilded Lily isn't the endgame. It's a beta test. And fifty million people are next. Book One of the Gilded Lily Duology "Respect our existence or expect resistance." For fans of Mr. Robot, Pretty Little Liars, and dark academia with teeth.
