Cass Young

Cass Young was raised to inherit a world of estates, corporations, and political legacy without ever losing control. But beneath the discipline, privilege, and impossible expectations is a girl quietly unraveling under the force of a love she was never meant to want.

Alex Medina

Alex Gil Medina is the Medina Medical heiress and Cherrie Espaldon Olañeta-Young’s goddaughter, a girl whose history with Cass Young has long been misunderstood by the world around them. Older, elegant, and fiercely self-possessed, Alex belongs to the private emotional history that still shadows the present.

Stella Valencia

Stella Marienne Valencia is a scholarship student from a warm, middle-class home who enters Saint Claire believing she already understands what wealth looks like—only to discover a far more dangerous world waiting inside. Artistic, careful, and quietly brave, she becomes the girl who awakens something in Cass Young that cannot be contained.
