The Ashford Trade

At the elite Ashford Preparatory Academy, a scholarship student stumbles upon a brutal reality: the school's most powerful secret society is the front for a transnational human trafficking ring. Half a world away, a young woman from a war-torn village is kidnapped and forced into a nightmare of captivity in the glittering city of Gildcrest. When their paths collide, they must dismantle a conspiracy that links the corridors of power to the darkest corners of exploitation, where survival means rewriting the rules of the game.
