Five scholars enter Oxford’s prestigious halls but who will survive?

The Shepherd’s Scholarship is the most coveted honour Oxford University has to offer, reserved for the extraordinary and exceptional. With all eyes on them, Mabel, Azelle, Finn, Hadley and Hugo will do whatever it takes to prove themselves worthy.

Forced to have regular dinners together, the group become unlikely allies as they navigate the intensity and pressure of Oxford’s most prestigious courses.

Until one scholar turns up dead.

When a secret book proposal is leaked in the aftermath of this tragedy, it threatens to unveil the scholars’ true identities and unravel what they have worked so hard to conceal.

Now the hunt is on for the most desirable weapon of all: secrets.

How far would you go to protect the life you fought for?
