The Foxhole Court
by Sakavic, Nora
Neil Josten is a boy with a target on his back and a past he is desperate to outrun. When he is recruited to join the Palmetto State University Exy team, he finds himself surrounded by a group of misfits who are just as damaged and volatile as he is. This is not a typical sports story; it is a brutal, high-stakes psychological drama where the threat of violence is constant and trust is a luxury no one can afford. The reading experience is frantic and claustrophobic, pulling you into Neil's survival mindset as he navigates a team that is more of a broken family than a roster. If you enjoy messy, morally grey characters who have to fight for their place in the world, you will find this series impossible to put down.
