BLACK LYON launches The Abi Acardi Series—a YA romantic coming-of-age drama filled with emotional tension, football romance, and the high-pressure of an elite-school environment. Fueled by the influence of music culture, it reveals a secret world tucked inside the glitter and privilege—one most people never experience.

Abi is a traditional girl from Boston who has faced far more than most teens her age, yet she still steps forward with quiet grace and strength. When her family moves to the West Coast, she is enrolled in Bel Air’s prestigious Gilderson School, where she enters a world of billionaire teens, social power plays, and hidden agendas. Suddenly, dealing with intense peer pressure and the impossible task of fitting into a student body ruled by unspoken rules, without meaning to, she sends shockwaves through the school’s social circles, disrupting the well-established hierarchy.

Almost instantly, she finds herself torn between Burton, the steadfast childhood friend who has suddenly reappeared in her life, and Shane, the popular QB whose presence sends her pulse racing. Trust becomes complicated fast—and choosing the wrong person comes with consequences she never saw coming.

Between private concerts, glittering parties, and her new life on the West Coast, Abi quickly realizes that privilege comes with shadows. Powerful families hold secrets, enemies move quietly, and one mysterious figure known as Black Lyon watches from the edges of their world.

At its heart, BLACK LYON is a swoony, emotionally charged romance about first love, meaningful friendships, and understanding that even the smallest decisions can change everything.
