Blood on the Honor Roll

Tampa, 1996. Sixteen-year-old Benedetto “Benny” Corsico has spent most of his life fighting—for respect, for survival, and against the future everyone says he deserves. One final arrest leaves him with a choice: juvenile detention or Blackthorne Preparatory Academy, an elite boarding school where wealth buys silence and cruelty hides behind tradition. At Blackthorne, Benny collides with the Crown Eight, a ruthless circle of privileged students who rule through humiliation and violence. With brilliant outsider Milo Bellini, compassionate teacher Mr. Weather, and Veronica DeLuca beside him, Benny uncovers a buried legacy of blood beneath the school’s polished halls. As secrets surface and revenge turns deadly, he must decide whether surviving Blackthorne is worth becoming the monster it tried to create.
