Book Summary
In a remote Alaskan university enclave, where only the elite have access, a single annual scholarship is the only crack in the wall of social classes.

When Kenai, the new scholarship student, crosses the tunnel that separates two worlds, his arrival triggers a revolution. However, an unexpected accident and the gaze of Ivalu, the director's daughter, will put his convictions to the test. A story of resistance, secrets, and loyalties where nothing is what it seems.
What is it about?
Whittier is an isolated university town in Alaska, a sanctuary for the children of the elite where only one scholarship is granted per year. This is the only passport for an outsider to pass through the tunnel that separates the privileged from the rest of the world, even if no one welcomes it. The plot intensifies when social differences push survival to the limit and resistance becomes the only weapon to reclaim what belongs to them. The arrival of Kenai, the new scholarship student, marks the beginning of a conflict that will change the established order. But an unexpected accident and the purity he finds in the eyes of Ivalu, the director's daughter, alter his priorities. The central question is whether the different social classes will be able to unite to face an enemy even stronger and more unpredictable than they imagined.
