The Harker Effect
Finn Harker didn’t ask for much out of life. A quiet corner, a stable future, and maybe a dog one day.
Instead, he got a scholarship to Voltaire Prep, one of the most elite schools in Athena City—a place so wealthy it feels like another planet. And now he’s leaving behind his sleepy hometown to spend senior year surrounded by designer uniforms, private drivers, and kids who’ve never checked a price tag in their lives.
It’s overwhelming. It’s ridiculous. It’s definitely not Finn’s scene.
But it’s also where he reunites with Martino Bertelli and Adrik Volkov, his childhood best friends who vanished into this glittering world years ago. As Finn gets pulled into their orbit—and their families’ strange, extravagant, and oddly affectionate chaos—he begins to realize that maybe he can belong somewhere… even if it’s not where he expected.
Voltaire Prep is absurd. Athena City is insane.
But Finn?
He’s the chaos gremlin they never knew they needed.
A story about friendship, found family, late-night rooftop talks, and learning to be okay with who you are—even when everything around you is louder, shinier, and much, much richer.
