Beyond the mask: The Silver Fox in the Shadows (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789199051505)

He's a ghost in the hallways. He's a legend online. Keeping his two worlds apart is the only way to survive.

Seventeen-year-old Alex Turner has one goal: make it to graduation without being noticed.

At Westwood Academy, he's just the quiet kid in the back row. But safely behind a locked bedroom door, he transforms into FrostFox, a celebrated digital artist in the furry community. It's a lonely life, but it's safe.

Until a chaotic new student crashes into his routine.

She's loud, she's proud, and she wears her fandom on her sleeve. Her influence drags Alex out of the shadows and into the orbit of the school's golden boy lacrosse captain. Alex is terrified of exposure, but he can't deny the strange, magnetic pull of this new social circle.

He's unaware that the captain is hiding a secret of his own-one that could bond them forever or destroy them both.

But when a vindictive bully threatens to weaponize Alex's private art against him, the walls between his worlds begin to crumble.

Alex must decide whether to delete his digital existence to save his reputation or risk everything to stand with the only people who truly get him.

Can Alex unmask his true self before he loses the connection he's always craved?
