At an elite private school in Massachusetts, lives will be changed forever in a series of devastating events, by the world's favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel.

Saint Ambrose Prep has been the school of choice for the sons of the great and the good for over a hundred years. Now, for the first time, the school has just enrolled its first female students. While many of the kids on the campus have all the privilege in the world, some are struggling to deal with family, insecurity and loneliness. In such a heightened environment, even the smallest spark can become a raging fire.

The day after a Halloween party a student lies in hospital, seriously injured and with a dangerous level of alcohol in her blood. Only the handful of students who were there when she was attacked know exactly what happened, and they have closed ranks. During the attempts to establish the truth, it becomes clear that no one at Saint Ambrose will escape the fallout - parents, students, teachers, headmaster, police, and even the judge who hears the case.

As the drama unfolds, those involved will reach a crossroads where they must choose between truth and lies, between what is easy and what is right, and in the end they know that they must rely on their own moral compass.

Pure Steel. Pure Heart.
