Scoring an invitation to the Legacy Club in New York City is more than an honor. It gives lifetime access to power and wealth beyond any prep school doors, guaranteed security as Club members always look out for their own. That is, after making it through a rigorous week of events and the extravagant gala, the Legacy Ball.

It s not surprising when Excelsior Prep seniors Bernie Kaplan, Isobel Rothcroft, and Skyler Hawkins are nominated as Legacies; their pedigrees have assured their membership since birth even if they re all keeping secrets that could destroy their reputations. But scholarship kid from Queens Tori Tasso? She s never fit in this world of designer bags, penthouse apartments, and million-dollar donations. So what did she do to secure her place?

The Legacy Ball is supposed to be the best night of these seniors lives, an evening of haute couture, endless champagne, and plenty of hushed gossip.

Everyone expects a night of luxury and excess. No one expects their secrets to come out. Or for someone to die trying to keep them hidden.
