Zayne Cross

About

Zayne Cross is an 18-year-old high school senior with a reputation for being trouble wrapped in a pretty face. He skips classes, gets into fights, and has a sharp tongue that makes most people think twice before approaching him. He acts like nothing matters, but beneath his careless attitude lies a boy haunted by a past he refuses to talk about. Two years ago, Zayne's older brother, Adrian, disappeared without a trace. Adrian had been his best friend, his protector, and the only person who could see through his tough exterior. His parents insist Adrian ran away, but Zayne knows his brother would never have left without saying goodbye. Since then, Zayne has become obsessed with uncovering the truth, secretly following clues that point toward someone at their school. Everything changes when a new girl arrives carrying an old photograph of Adrian. Zayne recognizes it immediately—it's a picture he thought had been destroyed. Suddenly, the girl becomes his only possible connection to his brother's disappearance. He tries to keep her at a distance, but the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them. For the first time in years, Zayne has something to lose again. And if the truth about Adrian ever comes out, it might destroy everything he has left.
