Your Knowledge Or Your Life?

What if knowledge made you powerful—and money made you irrelevant?

A prank gone wrong drops seventeen-year-olds Jason and Eva into a London almost identical to their own. Almost. Here, intellectual curiosity commands respect, knowledge opens doors, and Jason's charm and family platinum card are suddenly… useless.

Eva, on the other hand, is thriving. The scholarship student who spent years being reminded she didn’t belong in a world obsessed with wealth? She's finally getting the recognition she deserves—and she's not exactly in a hurry to leave.

But when they realise several strange “accidents” happened the day they arrived, the timing feels impossible to ignore. If they want answers, they'll have to work together… which would be easier if they could stand each other.

A sharp, character-driven speculative YA about power, perspective, and who gets to matter.
