Passing herself off as a transfer student at the small, prestigious college the troubled girl last attended - funded by the powerful Shepherd’s Cross Ministry - Rachel finds the secluded campus almost too idyllic, and the girls invited to participate in the 'Eve’s Circle' honors group too perfect. Too feminine. Too obedient. Not only obedient - completely submissive... ESPECIALLY PERFECTION...

But putting an end to the shocking operation requires more than just a cover - and it means trusting the brooding Elijah Trent, a CIA operative also working the campus from the inside. Together, they plan to expose the ministry’s unspeakable secret, a crime which reaches outside U.S. borders and into the realm of pure evil...
