A shadow looms over Tanglewood University.

It threatens the professors and the students. It threatens the dean.

I’m powerless to stop corruption that goes deep into the city’s underworld.

Professor William Stratford has the secrets we need. And I find inside me a strength that has nothing to do with escaping my family. It has to do with building a new one.

Can we reclaim the college? Can we forge a future together?

We need more than bravery to win, but it will mean nothing without love.

THE FINAL EXAM is the breathtaking final book in the Tanglewood University trilogy.
