J.T. Payne

In his senior year at a prestigious Christian Academy, Sylas Ernst has grown up safely surrounded by the Christian faith his entire life. But on a chance photography assignment, he notices something peculiar. What begins as pure curiosity, quickly unravels to expose a web of twisted, dark hypocrisy that turns his whimsical high school year into a perilous struggle, testing his cunning, faith, and even his life. 

This intelligently written, emotional story boldly dares to challenge stereotypes, the status quo, and ask the gutsy questions which ultimately shape our lives. Being hailed as one of the most revolutionary Christian novels of our generation, this beautiful and gripping tale will inspire readers to discover the truth in what lies behind The Academy and themselves.
